PhP associative array to get more effective

I would like to ask that I am having array from the form. but I need to manage the array.

<div class="item form-group">
<h4>Program List</h4>
</div>
<div class="new_program">
  <div class="item form-group">  
  <label class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12"></label>                      
  <div class="col-md-6 col-sm-4 col-xs-8">
  <input  type="text" name="desciplines[0]['name']" placeholder="Program Name" class="form-control col-md-7 col-xs-12">                          
 </div>
</div>
 <div class="item form-group">  
 <label class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12"></label>  
 <div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
 <textarea name="desciplines[0]['program_desc']" class="form-control col-md-7 col-xs-12"></textarea>
 </div>
 </div>
 <div class="item form-group">
 <label class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12"></label>  
 <div class="col-md-2 col-sm-2 col-xs-12">
 <input  type="text" name="desciplines[0]['fees']" placeholder="fees" class="form-control col-md-7 col-xs-12">
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>  
 <div class="item form-group">  
 <label class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12"></label>  
  <div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
 <i class="fa fa-plus add_descipline"></i>
 </div>
 </div>



jQuery is 

$(document).on('click','.add_descipline',function(e){   
            var html = $('.new_program').wrap('<p/>').parent().html();
            $( html ).insertAfter( ".new_program" );
});


Even though right now, I have changed the increment index with inspect element for the temporary output for now, then I will change the jQuery.

Sorry, if you not understand. Just let me know. I will explain more sincerely.

Solution

  • It is better to process the array with its current state as Riggs says in comments. But if you want to stick with your plan, you can do this:

    $new_desciplines = [];
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
    if(in_array($key, ["desciplines", "programs_descriptions", "fees"])){
        foreach ($value as $index => $val) {
            $new_desciplines[$index][$key] = $val;
        }
    }
}

    Then use the $new_desciplines variable

    print_r($new_desciplines);
