[RESOLVED] Value returned by array request

[TNchatmonk]

I have read and read but can't seem to find the parser which will give me the results I expect from the following request. I do not understand why I am getting the alpha country code on the end of the return value. I have shown what is returned when I select Algeria or 'dz'. I only expect 2185

Request Code:

reset($country_maxinsure);
      	while (list($key,$value) = each($country_maxinsure)) {
      	       if(strcasecmp($destCountryCode,$key)==0){
      	         $destCountryCode = strtoupper($value);
      	         break;
      	       }  

        }
		$maxins = urlencode($destCountryCode);
	  if ($maxins == 0){
	  	$usps_ins = 0;
	  }
		if ($packageValue > $maxins) $packageValue = $maxins;
		echo $maxins; 

Portion of array:

$country_maxinsure = array(
'af' => 0,
'al' => 0,
'dz' => 2185,
'ad' => 5000,
'ao' => 0,
'ai' => 415,
'ag' => 60,
'ar' => 5000,
'am' => 1350,

Actual return: I have highlighted the echoed value!

2185dz

Shipping: $16
Insurance: $6.85
Cost: $22.85

Thanks once again for help on what I am doing wrong!!!!!!!

if you simply want to display the array value for the country code then simply do:

<?php
$country_maxinsure = array( 
'af' => 0, 
'al' => 0, 
'dz' => 2185, 
'ad' => 5000, 
'ao' => 0, 
'ai' => 415, 
'ag' => 60, 
'ar' => 5000, 
'am' => 1350
);

$destCountryCode = 'dz';
echo $country_maxinsure[$destCountryCode]; // outputs 2185
?>

I know the country as that is what I am passing the array. I am trying to just get back the numeric maximum insurance value allowed by a country.

Thanks!

which is precisely what my code example does...right?

devinemke,

I must be missing something as I still get the same result if I have indeed tried what you suggested. Knowing me, I probably haven't. Below is what I tried along with the results.

                            [code=php]reset($country_maxinsure);
	echo $country_maxinsure[$destCountryCode];
	$maxins = urlencode($destCountryCode);
  if ($maxins == 0){
  	$usps_ins = 0;
  }
	if ($packageValue > $maxins) $packageValue = $maxins;[/code]

Following are the results?

2185dz
Selected shipping service:
International USPS Airmail Parcel Post 4-10 Days

Shipping: $16
Insurance: $6.85
Cost: $22.85
Shipping Weight: 1 lbs.
Shipping Dest: 37130:Algeria

Evidently I can't explain myself correctly?

I am only performing the echo to show what is being returned to me.

I need the numeric amount "value" returned so I can use it. This is without the key, which in the inquiry I performed was "dz".

The get array is returning the value I expect + the key. This may be the only way it can work but I don't believe so. I only want the actual value returned, without the key, so I will know if it is null or an amount to compare upon.

Thanks!

Provide the smallest and simple script that demonstrates your problem.

In this case, you should declare $country_maxinsure in your code snippet so we can be sure what is in it, not what you think is in it.

Thanks,

Following is a cut down version of my array:

/*******************************************************************************/
// USPS array of maximum allowed insurance values by country.
/*******************************************************************************/

$country_maxinsure = array(
'AF' => 0,
'AL' => 0,
'DZ' => 2185,
'AD' => 5000,
'AO' => 0,
'AI' => 415,
'AG' => 60,
'AR' => 5000,
'AM' => 1350,
'US' => 5000
);

?>

No, I dont mean post the entire array. Remember, work with something small and simple.
Something like:

$country_maxinsure = array(
	'AF' => 0,
	'AL' => 0,
	'DZ' => 2185,
	'AD' => 5000
);

You talk about results, but you never print anything. How in the world can you have results?
You post snippets of code, but what are they supposed to do?
Dont you see that you need to do something like what devinemke did - cut away all that you dont need, and focus on solving this problem.

[TNchatmonk]

Sorry I bothered you. I had already posted one which was small and simple with only a few entries but you evidently did not either see or think that was enough. I also have tried what devinemke suggested and posted my code and results.

I don't know how much more simple I can make it. I am sorry and will figure this one out for myself.

Thanks.....David

Oh, I see the problem.

Take a look at your second code snippet:

reset($country_maxinsure);
echo $country_maxinsure[$destCountryCode]; //#1
$maxins = urlencode($destCountryCode);
if ($maxins == 0){
	$usps_ins = 0;
}
if ($packageValue > $maxins)
	$packageValue = $maxins;
echo $maxins; //#2

At #1, you echo the value you need. At #2 you echo the key, since $maxins is set to the urlencoded $destCountryCode. This is why you still end up with <value><key>, e.g. 2185dz

What you need to do is this:

reset($country_maxinsure);
$maxins = urlencode($country_maxinsure[$destCountryCode]);
if ($maxins == 0){
	$usps_ins = 0;
}
if ($packageValue > $maxins) {
	$packageValue = $maxins;
}
echo $maxins;

In fact, you probably dont need the urlencode() call since the array values are guaranteed to be numeric.

Thanks laserlight,

Unfortunately, I still get the same results. The only thing I made different than what you suggested was I had to move an if statement over to make it fall through if $maxins is zero.

I am displaying my code and the actual popup window which displays when I come back from my USPS call:

                            [code=php]reset($country_maxinsure);
	$maxins = urlencode($country_maxinsure[$destCountryCode]);
  if ($maxins == 0){
	$usps_ins = 0;
  }
	if ($packageValue > $maxins) {
		$packageValue = $maxins;
	}
	echo $maxins;[/code]

Following is my return with the echo value highlighted:

2185dz
Selected shipping service:
International USPS Airmail Parcel Post 4-10 Days

Shipping:..... $16
Insurance:... $6.85
Cost:............ $22.85

Thanks again laserlight and I will keep looking!

[TNchatmonk]

OK,

It is now resolved. The final version of my code looks as shown below. I knew nothing made sense and I found another echo in my module which was returning the lower case country code.

Sorry, had no idea but had been through so many itterations of trying things I missed one.

Thanks for all your help!

reset($country_maxinsure);
		$maxins = ($country_maxinsure[$destCountryCode]);
	  if ($maxins == 0){
		$usps_ins = 0;
	  }
		if ($packageValue > $maxins) {
			$packageValue = $maxins;
		}
		echo $maxins;

I know it makes me look stupid and it should!

Thanks everyone............
