Associative Arrays

I have an array that has several amounts (based on $$$ sales) attached to a ‘name’ ‘id’ and ‘goal’. As you can see some of the names, id’s, and goals are the same. My goal is to gather a total of amounts and attach each total to whichever ‘name’, ‘id’, and ‘goal’ that made the sale. I’m honestly not sure how to go about this as I’m still learning.

Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => L.Chane [id] => oper-4bceffd1-21e0af5b [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 360.00 ) [1] => Array ( [name] => L.Chane [id] => oper-4bceffd1-21e0af5b [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 450.00 ) [2] => Array ( [name] => L.Chane [id] => oper-4bceffd1-21e0af5b [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 450.00 ) [3] => Array ( [name] => C.James [id] => oper-4c236420-0b11e945 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 370.00 ) [19] => Array ( [name] => C.James [id] => oper-4c236420-0b11e945 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 175.00 ) [20] => Array ( [name] => C.James [id] => oper-4c236420-0b11e945 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 155.00 )[61] => Array ( [name] => K.Crass [id] => oper-4c597644-402490ee [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 200.00 ) [62] => Array ( [name] => K.Crass [id] => oper-4c597644-402490ee [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 599.00 ) [63] => Array ( [name] => K.Crass [id] => oper-4c597644-402490ee [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 50.00 ) [113] => Array ( [name] => R.Cervantes [id] => oper-4f05a90b-03b379f9 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 450.00 ) [114] => Array ( [name] => R.Cervantes [id] => oper-4f05a90b-03b379f9 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 589.00 ) [115] => Array ( [name] => R.Cervantes [id] => oper-4f05a90b-03b379f9 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 350.00 ) [166] => Array ( [name] => A.Gerred [id] => oper-4f30019a-27f27473 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 375.00 ) [167] => Array ( [name] => A.Gerred [id] => oper-4f30019a-27f27473 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 294.50 ) [168] => Array ( [name] => A.Gerred [id] => oper-4f30019a-27f27473 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 440.00 ) [202] => Array ( [name] => G.Whitcher [id] => oper-4f300d33-de9592e3 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 5.00 ) [203] => Array ( [name] => G.Whitcher [id] => oper-4f300d33-de9592e3 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 310.00 ) [204] => Array ( [name] => G.Whitcher [id] => oper-4f300d33-de9592e3 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 349.00 ) [235] => Array ( [name] => K.Lawrence [id] => oper-50f6e4ad-9effbec7 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 499.00 ) [236] => Array ( [name] => K.Lawrence [id] => oper-50f6e4ad-9effbec7 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 187.50 ) [237] => Array ( [name] => K.Lawrence [id] => oper-50f6e4ad-9effbec7 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 170.00 ) [246] => Array ( [name] => K.Chane [id] => oper-52657816-3d6516e2 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 375.00 ) [247] => Array ( [name] => K.Chane [id] => oper-52657816-3d6516e2 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 187.50 ) [248] => Array ( [name] => K.Chane [id] => oper-52657816-3d6516e2 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 229.50 ) [256] => Array ( [name] => J.Stewart [id] => oper-qtgjvw8y-1uqtw058 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 170.00 ) [257] => Array ( [name] => J.Stewart [id] => oper-qtgjvw8y-1uqtw058 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 584.00 ) [258] => Array ( [name] => J.Stewart [id] => oper-qtgjvw8y-1uqtw058 [goal] => 2014-10-25000 [amount] => 249.50 ) )

Here is my code so far (And I know it’s not clean, because I’m not using PDO yet, I’m just trying to get it to work):

[php]
$result = mysql_query("SELECT a.*,u.OperatorName,u.MonthlyGoal
FROM tblUserPayments a LEFT JOIN tblOperatorGoals u ON a.OperatorID = u.OperatorID
WHERE a.ChargeAmount IS NOT NULL
AND a.PaymentStatus=‘OK’
AND a.PaymentDate LIKE ‘$currentDate%’
AND u.MonthlyGoal LIKE ‘$currentDate%’ " );
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$operArray[] = array(
‘name’ => $row[‘OperatorName’],
‘id’ => $row[‘OperatorID’],
‘goal’ => $row[‘MonthlyGoal’],
‘amount’ => $row[‘ChargeAmount’]);
}

foreach ($operArray as $value) {
if($value[‘id’] == ‘’ || $value[‘id’] == null) {
continue;
}
if(array_key_exists($value[‘id’], $operSums)) {
$operSums[$value[‘id’]] += $value[‘amount’];
} else {
$operSums[$value[‘id’]] = $value[‘amount’];
}
}
[/php]

Any help is greatly appreciated. Associative arrays are just not my cup of tea.

Could you not do this within mysql by using SUM and grouping by operator name / id?

eg.
[php]$result = mysql_query(“SELECT a.*,SUM(a.ChargeAmount),u.OperatorName,u.MonthlyGoal
FROM tblUserPayments a LEFT JOIN tblOperatorGoals u ON a.OperatorID = u.OperatorID
WHERE a.ChargeAmount IS NOT NULL
AND a.PaymentStatus=‘OK’
AND a.PaymentDate LIKE ‘$currentDate%’
AND u.MonthlyGoal LIKE ‘$currentDate%’ group by u.OperatorName” );[/php]
