array_slice

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

array_slice — Выбирает срез массива

Описание

array_slice(
    array $array,
    int $offset,
    ?int $length = null,
    bool $preserve_keys = false
): array

array_slice() возвращает последовательность элементов массива array, определённую параметрами offset и length.

Список параметров

array

Входной массив.

offset

Если параметр offset неотрицательный, последовательность начнётся на указанном расстоянии от начала array.

Если offset отрицательный, последовательность начнётся с конца array.

Замечание:
Обратите внимание, что параметр offset обозначает положение в массиве, а не ключ.

length

Если в эту функцию передан положительный параметр length, последовательность будет включать количество элементов меньшее или равное length.

Если количество элементов массива меньше чем параметр length, то только доступные элементы массива будут присутствовать.

Если в эту функцию передан отрицательный параметр length, последовательность остановится на указанном расстоянии от конца массива.

Если он опущен, последовательность будет содержать все элементы с offset до конца массива array.

preserve_keys

Замечание:
Обратите внимание, что по умолчанию array_slice() сбрасывает ключи массива. Вы можете переопределить это поведение, установив параметр preserve_keys в true. Строковые ключи сохраняются, независимо от значения этого параметра.

Возвращаемые значения

Возвращает срез. Если смещение больше длины массива, то будет возвращён пустой массив.

Примеры

Пример #1 Пример использования array_slice()

<?php
$input = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");

$output = array_slice($input, 2);      // возвращает "c", "d" и "e"
$output = array_slice($input, -2, 1);  // возвращает "d"
$output = array_slice($input, 0, 3);   // возвращает "a", "b" и "c"

// обратите внимание на различия в индексах массивов
print_r(array_slice($input, 2, -1));
print_r(array_slice($input, 2, -1, true));
?>

Результат выполнения приведённого примера:

Array
(
    [0] => c
    [1] => d
)
Array
(
    [2] => c
    [3] => d
)

Пример #2 Пример использования array_slice() с одномерным массивом

<?php
$input = array(1 => "a", "b", "c", "d", "e");
print_r(array_slice($input, 1, 2));
?>

Результат выполнения приведённого примера:

Array
(
    [0] => b
    [1] => c
)

Пример #3 Пример использования array_slice() с массивом из смешанных ключей

<?php
$ar = array('a'=>'apple', 'b'=>'banana', '42'=>'pear', 'd'=>'orange');
print_r(array_slice($ar, 0, 3));
print_r(array_slice($ar, 0, 3, true));
?>

Результат выполнения приведённого примера:

Array
(
    [a] => apple
    [b] => banana
    [0] => pear
)
Array
(
    [a] => apple
    [b] => banana
    [42] => pear
)

Array slice function that works with associative arrays (keys):

function array_slice_assoc($array,$keys) {
    return array_intersect_key($array,array_flip($keys));
}

If you want an associative version of this you can do the following:

function array_slice_assoc($array,$keys) {
    return array_intersect_key($array,array_flip($keys));
}

However, if you want an inverse associative version of this, just use array_diff_key instead of array_intersect_key. 

function array_slice_assoc_inverse($array,$keys) {
    return array_diff_key($array,array_flip($keys));
}

Example:

$arr = [
    'name' => 'Nathan',
    'age' => 20,
    'height' => 6
];

array_slice_assoc($arr, ['name','age']);

will return 

Array (
     'name' = 'Nathan',
     'age' = 20
)

Where as

array_slice_assoc_inverse($arr, ['name']);

will return 

Array (
    'age' = 20,
    'height' = 6
)

array_slice can be used to remove elements from an array but it's pretty simple to use a custom function.

One day array_remove() might become part of PHP and will likely be a reserved function name, hence the unobvious choice for this function's names.

<?
function arem($array,$value){
    $holding=array();
    foreach($array as $k => $v){
        if($value!=$v){
            $holding[$k]=$v;
        }
    }    
    return $holding;
}

function akrem($array,$key){
    $holding=array();
    foreach($array as $k => $v){
        if($key!=$k){
            $holding[$k]=$v;
        }
    }    
    return $holding;
}

$lunch = array('sandwich' => 'cheese', 'cookie'=>'oatmeal','drink' => 'tea','fruit' => 'apple');
echo '<pre>';
print_r($lunch);
$lunch=arem($lunch,'apple');
print_r($lunch);
$lunch=akrem($lunch,'sandwich');
print_r($lunch);
echo '</pre>';
?>

based on worldclimb's arem(), here is a recursive array value removal tool that can work with multidimensional arrays.

function remove_from_array($array,$value){
    $clear = true;
    $holding=array();
   
    foreach($array as $k => $v){
        if (is_array($v)) {
            $holding [$k] = remove_from_array ($v, $value);
            }
        elseif ($value == $v) {
            $clear = false;
            }
        elseif($value != $v){
            $holding[$k]=$v; // removes an item by combing through the array in order and saving the good stuff
        }
    }   
    if ($clear) return $holding; // only pass back the holding array if we didn't find the value 
}

remember that array_slice returns an array with the current element. you must use array_slice($array, $index+1) if you want to get the next elements.

Using the varname function referenced from the array_search page, submitted by dcez at land dot ru. I created a multi-dimensional array splice function. It's usage is like so:

$array['admin'] = array('blah1', 'blah2');
$array['voice'] = array('blah3', 'blah4');
array_cut('blah4', $array);

...Would strip blah4 from the array, no matter where the position of it was in the array ^^ Returning this...

Array ( [admin] => Array ( [0] => blah1 [1] => blah2 ) [voice] => Array ( [0] => blah3 ) ) 

Here is the code...

<?php

  function varname ($var)
  {
    // varname function by dcez at land dot ru
    return (isset($var)) ? array_search($var, $GLOBALS) : false;
  }

  function array_cut($needle, $haystack)
  {
    foreach ($haystack as $k => $v)
    {
      for ($i=0; $i<count($v); $i++)
        if ($v[$i] === $needle)
        {
          return array_splice($GLOBALS[varname($haystack)][$k], $i, 1);
          break; break;
        }
    }

?>

To save the sort order of a numeric index in the array. Version php =>5.5.26
/*
Example
*/

$arr = array( "1" =>2, "2" =>3 , "3" =>5 );

print_r(array_slice($arr,1,null,true));

/*
Result

Array

The documentation doesn't say it, but if LENGTH is ZERO, then the result is an empty array [].

Sometimes you need to pick certain non-integer and/or non-sequential keys out of an array. Consider using the array_pick() implementation below to pull specific keys, in a specific order, out of a source array:

<?php

$a = array ('a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3, 'd' => 4);
$b = array_pick($a, array ('d', 'b'));

// now:
// $a = array ('a' => 1, 'c' => '3');
// $b = array ('d' => 4, 'b' => '2');

function &array_pick(&$array, $keys)
{
    if (! is_array($array)) {
        trigger_error('First parameter must be an array', E_USER_ERROR);
        return false;
    }

    if (! (is_array($keys) || is_scalar($keys))) {
        trigger_error('Second parameter must be an array of keys or a scalar key', E_USER_ERROR);
        return false;
    }

    if (is_array($keys)) {
        // nothing to do
    } else if (is_scalar($keys)) {
        $keys = array ($keys);
    }

    $resultArray = array ();
    foreach ($keys as $key) {
        if (is_scalar($key)) {
            if (array_key_exists($key, $array)) {
                $resultArray[$key] = $array[$key];
                unset($array[$key]);
            }
        } else {
            trigger_error('Supplied key is not scalar', E_USER_ERROR);
            return false;
        }
    }

    return $resultArray;
}

Note that offset is not the same thing as key. Offset always starts at 0, while keys might be any number.



So this:



<?php print_r(array_slice(array(0 => 0, 5 => 5, 13 => 13),1)); ?>



will result in this:

Array

(

    [0] => 5

    [1] => 13

)

If you specify the fourth argument (to not reassign the keys), then there appears to be no way to get the function to return all values to the end of the array. Assigning -0 or NULL or just putting two commas in a row won't return any results.

If you want to remove a specified entry from an array i made this mwethod...

<?php
$array = array("Entry1","entry2","entry3");

$int = 3; //Number of entries in the array
$int2 = 0; //Starter array spot... it will begine its search at 0.
$del_num = 1; //Represents the second entry in the array... which is the one we will happen to remove this time... i.e. 0 = first entry, 1 = second entry, 2 = third...........

$newarray = array(); //Empty array that will be the new array minus the specified entry...
print_r($array) . "<br>";    //print original array contents
print_r($newarray). "<br>"; //print the new empty array

do
{
$user = $array[$int2];
$key = array_search($user, $array);
if ($key == $del_num)
{

}
else
{
$newarray[] = $array[$int2];
}

$int2 = $int2 + 1;
} while ($int2 < $int);

print_r($newarray). "<br>"; //print the new array

I was trying to find a good way to find the previous several and next several results from an array created in a MySQL query. I found that most MySQL solutions to this problem were complex. Here is a simple function that returns the previous and next rows from the array.



<?php



/*

** function array_surround by Jamon Holmgren of ClearSight Design

** Version 1.0 - 4/10/2009

** Please direct comments and questions to my first name at symbol clearsightdesign.com

**

** Returns an array with only the $before and $after number of results

** This is set to work best with MySQL data results

** Use this to find the rows immediately before and after a particular row, as many as you want

**

** Example usage:

**   $mysql_ar is an array of results from a MySQL query and the current id is $cur_id

**   We want to get the row before this one and five rows afterward

**

** $near_rows = array_surround($mysql_ar, "id", $cur_id, 1, 5)

**

**   Previous row is now $near_rows[-1]

**   Current row is now $near_rows[0]

**   Next row is $near_rows[1] ... etc

**   If there is no previous row, $near_rows[-1] will not be set...test for it with is_array($near_rows[-1])

**

*/

function array_surround($src_array, $field, $value, $before = 1, $after = 1) {

    if(is_array($src_array)) {

        // reset all the keys to 0 through whatever in case they aren't sequential

        $new_array = array_values($src_array);

        // now loop through and find the key in array that matches the criteria in $field and $value

        foreach($new_array as $k => $s) {

            if($s[$field] == $value) {

                // Found the one we wanted

                $ck = $k; // put the key in the $ck (current key)

                break;

            }

        }

        if(isset($ck)) { // Found it!

            $result_start = $ck - $before; // Set the start key

            $result_length = $before + 1 + $after; // Set the number of keys to return

            if($result_start < 0) { // Oops, start key is before first result

                $result_length = $result_length + $result_start; // Reduce the number of keys to return

                $result_start = 0; // Set the start key to the first result

            }

            $result_temp = array_slice($new_array, $result_start, $result_length); // Slice out the results we want

            // Now we have an array, but we want array[-$before] to array[$after] not 0 to whatever.

            foreach($result_temp as $rk => $rt) { // set all the keys to -$before to +$after

                $result[$result_start - $ck + $rk] = $rt;

            }

            return $result;

        } else { // didn't find it!

            return false;

        }

    } else { // They didn't send an array

        return false;

    }

}



?>



I hope you find this useful! I welcome constructive criticism or comments or of course praise ;) -- just e-mail me.
