PHP Array to String

[Beo]

Hi,

Having an issue with php array, thought I'd ask here.

I need to print three arrays to a string, without the Array brackets in the output.

I have these calls

$dns = array();
$dd = array();
$cn = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) {
  $cn[] = $row['cn'];
  $dns[] = $row['du'];
  $dd[] = $row['ed'];
}

$string = array_map(function($item) {
    return array_combine(['CN', 'DU', 'DD'], $item);
}, array_map(null, $cn, $dns, $dd));

Which is later called to a string. I am using an API which requires this field to be a STRING only. Which I have the below.

$ticket = print_r($string, true);

This will provide me with an output of

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [CN] => Otland
            [DU] => Otland.net
            [DD] => 2011/11/11
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [CN] => Tibia
            [DU] => Tibia.com
            [DD] => 2020/12/09
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [CN] => Twitch
            [DU] => Twitch.tv
            [DD] => 2025/11/01
        )

)

I need this to output to (KEEP IN MIND, I have to use Print_r() due to API)

CN = Otland
DU = otland.net
DD = 11/11/2011

CN = Tibia
DU = Tibia.com
DD = 09/12/2020

CN = Twitch
DU = Twitch.tv
DD = 01/11/2025

You could try this. It will dump the $string array, and get the values of the next array and print their key with value.

foreach ($string as $values) {
    foreach ($values as $key => $value) {
        // CN = Otland
        echo $key . " = " . $value;
    }
}

Done - the last time I posted a support request was probably 2009.

What kind of silly API is this? Usually you just convert the array to json (which is a string format of passing along data through APIs).
In which case you can use

json_encode($array)

, and

$array = json_decode($input)

to convert it back to an array.
