arrays - Getting data in particular format in PHP for Post request
Get the solution ↓↓↓
I have to send some data in the below format-
$postData = [
'certExpiryDate' => $certExpiryDate,
'certType' => 'SSL',
'AltName' => [
$altName[0],$altName[1]
],
'csr' => $csr
];
$altName is an array that has 2 or more strings like- domain1.com, domain2.com.
The AltName parameter expects the data in this format-
'AltName' => [
'domain1.com','domain2.com'
],
(if I hardcode and send it like this, everything works fine.. this is the correct format)
If I take the array $altName directly like this-
'AltName' => [
$altName
],
I did a var_dump and for this it adds quotes outside like- "domain1.com, domain2.com", which it considers wrong.
I need it to be in the format of $altName[0],$altName[1] which would be correct, but I'm struggling on how to loop through this array in case it has more values than 2 and still get it in the required format.

Solution:
Your attempt:
'AltName' => [
$altName
],
doesn't work as intended because it wraps the array$altName inside another array (created by the[ and]).
Just set the$altName array to be the value of the property directly. There's no need for an extra array:
'AltName' => $altName

Solution:
but I'm struggling on how to loop through this array in case it has more values than 2 and still get it in the required format.
posting direct values:
//$altName = ["domain1.com", "domain2.com"];
//OR
$altName = array("domain1.com", "domain2.com");
$postData = ['AltName' => $altName];
var_dump($postData);
output:
array(1) {
["AltName"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(11) "domain1.com"
[1]=>
string(11) "domain2.com"
}
}
