PHP loop through array and append to object
I have an array of objects like this:
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[Job] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 123
[Name] => Foo
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[Job] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 456
[Name] => BAR
)
)
)
I need to go through an array and add more information to a Status object, but I'm having some problems.
foreach($arrJobs as $key => $val) {
$arrJobs[$key]->Job->Status = new StdClass;
$arrJobs[$key]->Job->Status = $myStatus;
}
This works, but I get the following warning:
Warning: creating default object from empty value to ...

In my opinion, you just need to add properties to existing objects. Don't create new objects in your loop
you just need this
foreach ($arrJobs as $obj)
{
$obj->job->status = $myStatus;
}
See full code:
<?php
$obj1 = new \stdClass();
$obj1->job = new \stdClass();
$obj1->job->id = 123;
$obj1->job->name = "foo";
$obj2 = new \stdClass();
$obj2->job = new \stdClass();
$obj2->job->id = 456;
$obj2->job->name = "bar";
$array = [$obj1,$obj2];
var_dump($array);
foreach ($array as $obj)
{
$obj->job->status = "the status";
//add any properties as you like dynamicly here
}
echo "<br>\nafter<br>\n";
var_dump($array);
exit;
Now $obj1
and $obj2
has a new property 'status', see this demo: ( https://eval.in/833410 )

Yes, create an object first. You cannot assign properties null
. For this you need an instance stdClass
, php generic empty class.
$arrJobs[$key] = new stdClass;
$arrJobs[$key]->foo = 1;
// And/or see below for 'nested' ...
$arrJobs[$key]->bar = new stdClass;
$arrJobs[$key]->bar->foo = 1;

Try it,
PHP
<?php
// Sample object creation.
$array = [];
$array = [0 => (object) ['Job'=>(object) ['ID'=>123, 'Name' => 'Foo']]];
foreach($array as $val) {
$val->Job->Status = (object) ['zero' => 0,'one' => 1]; // Status 0 and 1.
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($array);
?>
Output
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[Job] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 123
[Name] => Foo
[Status] => stdClass Object
(
[zero] => 0
[one] => 1
)
)
)
)
