PHP function array_slice() returns sequence of elements by offset like this:
// sample data
$a = array('a','b','c',100=>'aa',101=>'bb',102=>'cc');
// outputs empty array because offset 100 not defined
print_r(array_slice($a,100));
Current function arguments:
array_slice ( $array, $offset, $length, $preserve_keys)
I need something like this:
array_slice ( $array, **$key**, $length, $preserve_keys)
That outputs this according to above print_r:
array (
100 => aa,
101 => bb,
102 => cc
)
To find the offset of the key, use array_search()
to search through the keys, which can be retrieved with array_keys()
. array_search()
will return FALSE
when the specified key (100
) is not present in the array ($a
).
$key = array_search(100, array_keys($a), true);
if ($key !== false) {
$slice = array_slice($a, $key, null, true);
var_export($slice);
}
Prints:
array (
100 => 'aa',
101 => 'bb',
102 => 'cc',
)
Returns parts of $array
whose keys exist in the array $keys
:
array_intersect_key($array,array_flip($keys));
If you want to slice the array by using keys for the items you want to get, you could use the following custom function to do so:
function array_slice_keys($array, $keys = null) {
if ( empty($keys) ) {
$keys = array_keys($array);
}
if ( !is_array($keys) ) {
$keys = array($keys);
}
if ( !is_array($array) ) {
return array();
} else {
return array_intersect_key($array, array_fill_keys($keys, '1'));
}
}
Usage:
$ar = [
'key1' => 'a',
'key2' => 'b',
'key3' => 'c',
'key4' => 'd',
'key5' => 'e',
'key6' => 'f',
];
// Get the values from the array with these keys:
$items = array_slice_keys( $ar, array('key2', 'key3', 'key5') );
Result:
Array
(
[key2] => b
[key3] => c
[key5] => e
)
