试图创建一个关联数组 PHP

Question

I have the following array. What I'm trying to do is get each element under "bill_ids", use the ID (eg "hjres61-114") to make another call and then retitle the 0 under "bill_ids" to the ID and then include another array under that element.

Here's what I have and it's giving me this error..

Message: Illegal offset type

        $floor_updates = $this->congress->floor_updates($params); 

        foreach ($floor_updates as $update) {

            if ($update['bill_ids']) {

                foreach ($update['bill_ids'] as $bill => $bill_id) {
                    $billInfo = $this->bill->billSearch(['bill_id' => $bill_id]);

                    $floor_updates[$update]['bill_ids'][$bill][0] = $billInfo;
                }

            }
        }  

I'm terrible with php arrays and any guidance would be greatly appreciated..

Answer 1

What you actually want to do is the following:

First, capture the array index of each of our update elements. We can simply do that by passing in $array_index => $update .

foreach ($floor_updates as $array_index => $update)

Now, we can access the $update array by $floor_updates[$array_index] .

$floor_updates[$array_index]['bill_ids'][$bill] = $billInfo;

In the above, there's no reason to access the 0th element of the array as the $bill actaully contains reference to the index of each key value pair, so we can simply just reference [$bill] to get access to the array.
