Re: Assign values in foreach-loop

Hello,

You simply need the $key variable, then you can set a new value for $arr[$key] for each array element:
<?php
$arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
   $arr[$key] = $value * 2;
}
// $arr is now array(2, 4, 6, 8)
?>


http://www.php.net/foreach
If you have PHP 5, you can perhaps more efficiently do this:


As of PHP 5, you can easily modify array's elements by preceding $value with &. This will assign reference instead of copying the value.

<?php
$arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
foreach ($arr as &$value) {
   $value = $value * 2;
}
// $arr is now array(2, 4, 6, 8)
?>

Hello to all,

is it possible to assign values to the array for which I do the foreach-loop?

foreach ($_SESSION['arr1'] as $arr1) {
   foreach ($_SESSION['arr2'] as $arr2) {
       if ($arr1['id'] == $arr2['id']) {
           $arr1['selected'] = true;
       }
   }   }

I think $arr1 is only a temp-var, so the assignment won't reflect on $_SESSION['arr1'] . Is that right? Surely I can do it with a for-loop, but those arrays are a bit complex and a foreach would be much easier to read.

Thanks in advance for your answers
Sabine
