a problem when create a array 3d

[nacerbaaziz]

hello sirs, please help me

i tried to create a function that read a folder files to 3d array

e.g

$array[n][0][0] = ctName

$array[n][0][1] = ctFilePath

$array[n][0][2] = crtsections number

$array[n][m][0] = KeyName

$array[n][m][1] = KeyVal

$array[n][m][2] = keySectionName

 

that the array

when i put one file into the folder all things work fine

but when i put more than one file

the last file worked fine but the others only the first key is showing

please can you help me to correct this problem

here is the example with the folder

please accept my greetings

and thanks in advance

Whats a 3d Array?

[nacerbaaziz]

@Subz

it means an array with 3 dimensions

$array[x][y][z]

An array of arrays, if you're coming from C or Java

Thanks, just found a post from PSalty with an example which explained it, just never seen it previously, learnt something new.

@czardas arrayworkshop is a great thread for learning more than you want,  the fruit cube is how i got comfortable manipulating stuff

 

 

[nacerbaaziz]

my problem isn't in the array creation

 until now i can't know where is the problem exact

please if any one of you can download and try to tell me where is the problem

thx in advance

I've got the files but what I don't understand is what attributes or data you want to assign to each array dimension and what you want to store in each array cell.

AFAICT you only need a 2D array, so I must be overlooking something important to you.

A 3D array is perfect to represent, for instance, one attribute of points in cartesian coordinates: if (X, Y, Z) are point coordinates in air, the array may store, for instance, the température of air at that point.  Then the array once filled gives you T° = f(X, Y, Z).

How does this simple example apply to your data?

am making an links store

and that tool has a categorys

and evry category is in a file

that file as a ini file

and what i want is to store the data in a 3d array

that the 1d to change the categorys and the 2d is to change the ini sections, and the last is to store the links information as the name of link and the url

i hope that you understand what i want

[jchd]

You only need a 2D array:

Category    LinkName    URL
test    faceBook    https://facebook.com/
test    twitter https://twitter.com/
test    honeygain   https://honeygain.com/
test2   google  https://google.com/
test2   gmail   https://gmail.com/
test2   youtube https://youtube.com/
test3   mx-blind    https://mx-blind.com/
test3   wordpress   https://wordpress.com/
test3   blind help  https://blindhelp.net/

This is TSV format so you can copy-paste and directly load into a 2D array. Leave the headers alone as it will simplify access.

BTW if you intent to have a large number of links, you might turn to SQLite.

Here's a SQL source file (containing SQLite-compatible statements) you can use to create the database corresponding to the table shown above:

Links.sql

i liked to use the 3d because i have a treeview and list box

for that to get the info from one to one i must use a array

but if you mean that no whey to do that, then i have to change all my function .

i hope any one can help me to correct that

I provided an example of use of an array, didn't I?

I still fail to see how you would cram your data in 3 dimensions, still keeping ease of use, access, search and coding.  I'm not saying this is impossible, just that it's neither useful nor practical.

To make a parallel, think about a personal address book. A (very simple) address consists of: country, state, zipcode, city, street, number, floor, appartment number.  That's 8 entities for that simple case, many real-world addresses are much more complex.

There are two diametrally extreme ways to organize storage for addresses like that: a 2D-array where each entry (row) contains 8 columns to store the 8 components, or a 8D-array where each component represents a dimension.

A 2D-array fits well the personal use, but a 8D array is most suitable for administrative registers that lists all habitations/appartments in a large area.  Searching in a 2D array is much easier than selecting address components in a 8D-array.

Does this function contain any errors, please?
