I have an array of two structures that have "arrived" from a remote application. Looking at one of the two structures I have:

$data = array(
   'task1' => $Arr[0].Task_0,
   'task1_percent' => $Arr[0].Perc_time_0,
   'task2' => $Arr[0].Task_1,
   'task2_percent' => $Arr[0].Perc_time_1,
   'task3' => $Arr[0].Task_2,
   'task3_percent' => $Arr[0].Perc_time_2,
   'task4' => $Arr[0].Task_3,
   'task4_percent' => $Arr[0].Perc_time_3,
   'task5' => $Arr[0].Task_4,
   'task5_percent' => $Arr[0].Perc_time_4,
   'task6' => $Arr[0].Task_5,
   'task6_percent' => $Arr[0].Perc_time_5,
   );


This is not working correctly. When I look at $data I see that it task1 has the string "Task_0" instead of the value of Task_0. I am looking to log all the values into a table. My table has the structure attached. What is the easy way to do this? I realize that once I get it into the array I need to use $this->db->insert('activity_log',$data);

Looks like syntax error, in PHP you'd use -> instead of . to access object attributes.

PHP Code:

$Arr[0]->Task_0
// $Arr[0].Task_0

changed it to:
$data = array(
'task1' => $Arr[0].Task_0,
'task1_percent' => $Arr[0]->Perc_time_0,
'task2' => $Arr[0].Task_1,
'task2_percent' => $Arr[0]->Perc_time_1,
'task3' => $Arr[0].Task_2,
'task3_percent' => $Arr[0]->Perc_time_2,
'task4' => $Arr[0].Task_3,
'task4_percent' => $Arr[0]->.Perc_time_3,
'task5' => $Arr[0].Task_4,
'task5_percent' => $Arr[0]->Perc_time_4,
'task6' => $Arr[0].Task_5,
'task6_percent' => $Arr[0]->.Perc_time_5,
);

This causes the application to not even load.

So I am trying to get data that came over from another app into my CI based program so I can log it to the database.
$json has two structures. The first ($json[0]) is the email address of this user. I can get that one fine. $json[1] is an array of two structures.
$Arr=(array)$json[1];
$Arr=array_values($Arr); //this is an array of two structures. The first is from the tasks array and the 2nd is from the Bus comp array.
Attached is the $Arr structure. As you can see, it is an array of two different sized structures. $Arr[0] is the tasks structure and $Arr[1] is the BusComps structure. My database tables have slightly different structures since I include a few other fields such as a timestamp. So how do I get these two structures into a form that I can db->insert() into one of those two tables?

Previously I had the data coming in from the other app in a string and I just used picked off the fields I needed. On this one, the data from the other app is coming in as a structure (actually two structures) but I can't seem to get the values. So foe example, $Arr[0].Task_0 should be the value of the Task_0 element of the structure in array[0]. It should be the string "{choose}". This is exactly what it is when I look at it with the debugger. But when I run $task0=$Arr[0].Task_0; $task0 is assigned "Task_0". How do I get the value of the element instead of the index name?

Ah, $Arr[0] is an array?

I, for some stupid reason, assumed it was an object.

In that case $Arr[0]['Task_0'] should work, but probably best if you check what format and structure your array is with var_dump function.

Also noticed you have few extra . in the code right after -> that's probably why the code doesn't run. And you would need to use same method for all elements, not just for percent.

You were right and thanks for your help. This was what finally worked.

$data = array(
'survey_compiler' => $email_key,
'task1' => $Arr[0]->Task_0,
'task1_percent' => $Arr[0]->Perc_time_0,
'task2' => $Arr[0]->Task_1,
'task2_percent' => $Arr[0]->Perc_time_1,
'task3' => $Arr[0]->Task_2,
'task3_percent' => $Arr[0]->Perc_time_2,
'task4' => $Arr[0]->Task_3,
'task4_percent' => $Arr[0]->Perc_time_3,
'task5' => $Arr[0]->Task_4,
'task5_percent' => $Arr[0]->Perc_time_4,
'task6' => $Arr[0]->Task_5,
'task6_percent' => $Arr[0]->Perc_time_5
);

$data2 = array(
'BC1' => $Arr[1]->BusComp_0,
'BC1_percent' => $Arr[1]->Perc_time2_0,
'BC2' => $Arr[1]->BusComp_1,
'BC2_percent' => $Arr[1]->Perc_time2_1,
'BC3' => $Arr[1]->BusComp_2,
'BC3_percent' => $Arr[1]->Perc_time2_2,
'BC4' => $Arr[1]->BusComp_3,
'BC4_percent' => $Arr[1]->Perc_time2_3,
'BC5' => $Arr[1]->BusComp_4,
'BC5_percent' => $Arr[1]->Perc_time2_4,
'BC6' => $Arr[1]->BusComp_5,
'BC6_percent' => $Arr[1]->Perc_time2_5
);
$this->db->insert('survey_tasks', $data);
$this->db->insert('survey_bc', $data2);
