Greetings everyone :

  Having a hard time with this one. I have a multi-dim array
$foo[$x][$y]['key'], where $x and $y are numeric. Here is some sample data

[ snipped ]

I need to filter the results so that I get the latest expiry date for
each product.  The expires field actually contains a timestamp.  So for
the sample array above, the resultant array would have only keys 0 and
2, filtering out all the rest.  There are around 180+ main entries, with
any number of sub entries, but each sub entry has the same four keys.

Any ideas? Getting a rather large headache mulling over this.


Hi,

as your structure is always the same you could just loop through all
elements and subelements and use unset() to remove the unwanted array
elements:

foreach ($foo as $key => $value) {

foreach ($value as $subkey => $subvalue) {

                // put your check logic here
                if ($foo[$key][$subkey]['expires'] == '') {

                   unset($foo[$key][$subkey]);
                }
        }
}

What do you think?

Well this is what I have right now, but the problem is the logic which checks to see for each domain which is the last expired date. I have three nested for loops right now, and not getting anywhere :(
