I am getting more practice with using for loops to loop through arrays, and have a question that I can't figure out thus far.
I have 3 loops and in the loops are common color names. Using the first for loop I am looping through all the 3 loops and finding the common color name, this works fine.
The second part is where I am stumped on how to do this, how to assign the common values array into another array to just show those common values.
I know I can use a foreach loop that does the trick as shown below, but I am trying to see how to do this with a for loop instead.
How can I do this? (without using array_intersect)
Code: (this loops through all arrays and gives me the common values)
$array1 = ['red', 'blue', 'green'];
$array2 = ['black', 'blue', 'purple', 'red'];
$array3 = ['red', 'blue', 'orange', 'brown'];
$value = [];
$array_total = array_merge($array1, $array2, $array3);
$array_length = count($array_total);
for ($i = 0; $i < $array_length; $i++) {
if (!isset($value[$array_total[$i]])) {
$value[$array_total[$i]] = 0;
}
$a = $value[$array_total[$i]]++;
}
//print_r($value); -- Array ( [red] => 3 [blue] => 3 [green] => 1 [black] => 1 [purple] => 1 [orange] => 1 [brown] => 1 )
Using foreach loop works but want to learn how to do it with a for loop:
$commonValues = [];
foreach ($value as $values => $count) {
if ($count > 2) {
$commonValues[] = $values;
}
}
print_r($commonValues); -- Array ( [0] => red [1] => blue )
