<h1>Array Helper</h1>
|
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
<p>The Array Helper file contains functions that assist in working with arrays.</p>
|
|
|
62 |
|
|
|
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
<h2>Loading this Helper</h2>
|
|
|
65 |
|
|
|
66 |
<p>This helper is loaded using the following code:</p>
|
|
|
67 |
<code>$this->load->helper('array');</code>
|
|
|
68 |
|
|
|
69 |
<p>The following functions are available:</p>
|
|
|
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
<h2>element()</h2>
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
|
73 |
<p>Lets you fetch an item from an array. The function tests whether the array index is set and whether it has a value. If
|
|
|
74 |
a value exists it is returned. If a value does not exist it returns FALSE, or whatever you've specified as the default value via the third parameter. Example:</p>
|
|
|
75 |
|
|
|
76 |
<code>
|
|
|
77 |
$array = array('color' => 'red', 'shape' => 'round', 'size' => '');<br />
|
|
|
78 |
<br />
|
|
|
79 |
// returns "red"<br />
|
|
|
80 |
echo element('color', $array);<br />
|
|
|
81 |
<br />
|
|
|
82 |
// returns NULL<br />
|
|
|
83 |
echo element('size', $array, NULL);
|
|
|
84 |
</code>
|
|
|
85 |
|
|
|
86 |
|
|
|
87 |
<h2>random_element()</h2>
|
|
|
88 |
|
|
|
89 |
<p>Takes an array as input and returns a random element from it. Usage example:</p>
|
|
|
90 |
|
|
|
91 |
<code>$quotes = array(<br />
|
|
|
92 |
"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. - Thomas Jefferson",<br />
|
|
|
93 |
"Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed. - George Burns",<br />
|
|
|

|
|

"If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti",<br />
|
|
|

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. - Albert Einstein",<br />
|
|
|
97 |
"Chance favors the prepared mind - Louis Pasteur"<br />
|
|
|
98 |
);<br />
|
|
|
