Assign Variable to individual array item - El Forum - 06-27-2011

My code below obtain sum from database group by currency:

Code:
public function get_sales_report()
{
    $data = $this->db
         ->select('currency')
         ->select_sum('order_amount')
         ->where('status', 'completed')
         ->group_by('currency')
         ->get('orders')->result();

    return $data;
}

Result:

Code:
Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [currency] => SGD
            [order_amount] => 100.22
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [currency] => USD
            [order_amount] => 1041.32
        )
)

How do I assign the amount of each currency to a variable? For example, assign SGD amount to $amount_sgd, so that I can change it to USD value, and add it to USD amount (second array item) to get final total in USD currency.

Many thanks.

If you want to do it in PHP, you can write :

Code:
$sum = 0;
$exchange = array('SGD' => 0.81, 'USD' => 1, 'EUR' => 1.42); // add more currencies here
foreach($data as $sale)
{
    $sum += $exchange[$sale->currency] * $sale->order_amount;
}
// you get the result in $sum

Hi Seb,

I have only 3 currency. But they might not all appear at the same time (sometimes orders in one currency). Thus, I cannot prefix the array here. I wish to be able to extract the key and value from the array, and assign them to variable. I can reuse the variable for other purposes later.

Well, where is the problem with the code I wrote ?

It will work even if there are only orders in one currency. You just have to make sure the $exchange array is filled with all available currencies in your application.

Hi Seb,

Not. Your code is fine. But I wish to assign item from array to a variable. For example,

1) Extract the amount in USD and assign it to variable called $amount_usd.
2) I can called out the $amount_usd anytime within page for other purpose. For example,

Code:
Sales in USD currency: $amount_usd

You can use:
$val = 'usd' ;
$amount[$val] ...

or
$val = 'usd';
$varNname = 'amount_'.$val;

$$varName = ... //$$varname is var $amount_usd

Hi blagi,


Sorry, I am still not getting your trick. Consider I have below multi-dimension array:

Code:
Array
(
    [0] => array
        (
            [currency] => SGD
            [order_amount] => 100.22
        )

    [1] => array
        (
            [currency] => USD
            [order_amount] => 1041.32
        )
)

How do I extract the USD and its value and assign it to a variable? Please note that the array key would change because sometimes only one currency returned and sometimes 3 currency.

The array that is returned from the query is enough. You don't need any other vars. you simple would do a
Code:
(! isset($data['USD']) OR $data['USD'] == "") ? '' : $data['USD']
to get the value for USD.

No need to use 'isset()' ! Only
Code:
( ! $data['USD'] OR empty($data['USD'])) ? '' : $data['USD']
