Is it possible to use a variable variable as an array prefix? I have a set of arrays with the format $x_settings
, and I want to output the values of just one depending on which prefix matches a condition.
This is an extremely stripped-down version of much more complex code, so thanks for your indulgence:
$current_env = 'local';
$local_settings = array
(
'debug' => TRUE,
'cake' => TRUE,
'death' => FALSE
);
$environments = array
(
'local',
'dev',
'prod'
);
foreach( $environments as $env )
{
if( $current_env == $env )
{
define('DEBUG', ${$env}_settings['debug']);
define('CAKE', ${$env}_settings['cake']);
define('DEATH', ${$env}_settings['death']);
break;
}
}
As you can see I tried using ${$env}_settings[]
but that gave me a PHP error:
unexpected '_settings' (T_STRING)
Possible?
Yes, it is possible. Your loop should look like below:
foreach( $environments as $env )
{
if( $current_env == $env )
{
define('DEBUG', ${$env.'_settings'}['debug']);
define('CAKE', ${$env.'_settings'}['cake']);
define('DEATH', ${$env.'_settings'}['death']);
break;
}
}
Notes:
=
instead of =>
. break
inside your loop - otherwise, you'll be trying to re-declare constants and that will cause PHP to output errors =
to ==
. =
is the assignment operator. You need to use ==
(loose comparison) or ===
(strict comparison) instead. Use 2D array for this purpose:
$current_env = 'local';
$environment_settings = array(
'local' => array('debug' = TRUE, 'cake' = TRUE, 'death' = FALSE),
'dev' => array('debug' = TRUE, 'cake' = FALSE, 'death' = FALSE),
'prod' => array('debug' = TRUE, 'cake' = TRUE, 'death' = FALSE)
);
if (isset($environment_settings[$current_env])) {
foreach ($environment_settings[$current_env] as $name => $val)
define(strtoupper($name), $value);
}
Why not just make a 2-d array...
$settings=array(
"local" => array(
'cake'=>TRUE,
'death'=>FALSE
),
"dev" =>array(...etc ...),
"prod"=>array(...etc ...)
);
then:
if( $current_env = $env )
{
define('DEBUG', $settings[$env]['debug']);
define('CAKE', $settings[$env]['cake']);
define('DEATH', $settings[$env]['death']);
}
(I just typed this in - there may be typos!)
It should be
$local_settings = array
(
'debug' => TRUE,
'cake' =>TRUE,
'death' => FALSE
);
Make use of the =>
operator instead of =
operator when assigning keys to values
I changed the values to strings just for testing. Try this:
$env = 'local';
$local_settings = array
(
'debug' => 'TRUE',
'cake' => 'TRUE',
'death' => 'FALSE'
);
$setting_selector=$env.'_settings';
echo ${$setting_selector}['debug'];
