php - deep search array of arrays and return only matching elements

Question

I am looking for a solution in php as mentioned in the accepted answer of this question:

javascript - return parent with only child that matches given search string in array of objects with nested object

Please find below code:

<?php
    $items = array( 
        'tableData' => array
        (
            array
            (
                'booking_name' => 'abc/xyz/123',
                'pdg' => 'assure',                    
                'user_area' => 'es st1',
                'release' => 'oss72',
                'start_date' => '2017-06-20 00:00:00',
                'end_date' => '2017-06-23 00:00:00',
                'asset_info' => array
                    (
                        array
                            (
                                'status' => 10,
                                'manufacturer' => 'Oracle',
                                'model' => 'HP BL460C GEN8',
                                'hardware_color' => '#0066b3',
                            ),
                        array
                            (
                                'status' => 11,
                                'manufacturer' => 'HP',
                                'model' => 'HP BL460C GEN81',
                                'hardware_color' => '#0066b3',
                            )

                    ),

                'full_name' => 'Valay Desai',
                'email_address' => '[email protected]',
            ),

            array
            (
                'booking_name' => 'abc/xyz/123',
                'pdg' => 'enm',                    
                'user_area' => 'es st',
                'release' => 'oss72',
                'start_date' => '2017-06-20 00:00:00',
                'end_date' => '2017-06-23 00:00:00',
                'asset_info' => array
                    (
                        array
                            (
                                'status' => 10,
                                'manufacturer' => 'HP',
                                'model' => 'HP BL460C GEN8',
                                'hardware_color' => '#0066b3',
                            )

                    ),

                'full_name' => 'Valay Desai',
                'email_address' => '[email protected]',
            )
        )
    );

function getParentStackComplete($child, $stack) {
    $return = array();
    foreach ($stack as $k => $v) {
        if (is_array($v)) {
            // If the current element of the array is an array, recurse it 
            // and capture the return stack
            $stack = getParentStackComplete($child, $v);

            // If the return stack is an array, add it to the return
            if (is_array($stack) && !empty($stack)) {
                $return[] = $v;
            }
        } else {
            // Since we are not on an array, compare directly
            if(strpos($v, $child) !== false){               
                // And if we match, stack it and return it
                $return[] = $v;
            }
        }
    }

    // Return the stack
    return empty($return) ? false: $return;
}


echo "<pre>";
print_r(getParentStackComplete('Oracle', $items['tableData']));
echo "</pre>";


?>

This code works fine. I found the function getParentStackComplete online, modified it to return the whole matching element. It search the array recursively and return matching items.

For example, as given in the code, If I search for a string 'Oracle', it should return an array with one item which has only one child(matching element) in asset_info. The output I am looking for is:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [booking_name] => abc/xyz/123
            [pdg] => assure
            [user_area] => es st1
            [release] => oss72
            [start_date] => 2017-06-20 00:00:00
            [end_date] => 2017-06-23 00:00:00
            [asset_info] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [status] => 10
                            [manufacturer] => Oracle
                            [model] => HP BL460C GEN8
                            [hardware_color] => #0066b3
                        )
                )

            [full_name] => Valay Desai
            [email_address] => [email protected]
        )

)

If I search for a string HP BL460C GEN8, it should return as below:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [booking_name] => abc/xyz/123
            [pdg] => assure
            [user_area] => es st1
            [release] => oss72
            [start_date] => 2017-06-20 00:00:00
            [end_date] => 2017-06-23 00:00:00
            [asset_info] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [status] => 10
                            [manufacturer] => Oracle
                            [model] => HP BL460C GEN8
                            [hardware_color] => #0066b3
                        )
                )

            [full_name] => Valay Desai
            [email_address] => [email protected]
        )
       [1] => Array
       (
          'booking_name' => 'abc/xyz/123',
                'pdg' => 'enm',                    
                'user_area' => 'es st',
                'release' => 'oss72',
                'start_date' => '2017-06-20 00:00:00',
                'end_date' => '2017-06-23 00:00:00',
                'asset_info' => array
                    (
                        array
                            (
                                'status' => 10,
                                'manufacturer' => 'HP',
                                'model' => 'HP BL460C GEN8',
                                'hardware_color' => '#0066b3',
                            )

                    ),

                'full_name' => 'Valay Desai',
                'email_address' => '[email protected]'
       )

)

How do I return matching child with parent in nested array search ?

Answer 1

Try this code.

function getParentStackComplete( $search, $stack ){

    $results = array();

    foreach( $stack as $item ){

        if( is_array( $item ) ){

            if( array_filter($item, function($var) use ($search) { return ( !is_array( $var ) )? stristr( $var, $search ): false; } ) ){
                //echo 'test';
                $results[] = $item;
                continue;
            }else if( array_key_exists('asset_info', $item) ){
                $find_assets = array();
                foreach( $item['asset_info'] as $k=>$v ){
                    //echo 'abc ';

                    if( is_array( $v ) && array_filter($v, function($var) use ($search) { return stristr($var, $search); }) ){
                        $find_assets[] = $v;
                    }
                }
                if( count( $find_assets ) ){
                    $temp = $item;
                    $temp['asset_info'] = $find_assets;
                    $results[] = $temp;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return $results;
}
