hi guys, i've two array 3d $data and $array_bold, then i want to bold value $data be based value $array_bold, how i can do this???

<?php 
$data = array(
            array(

                '0'=>array(
                        '0'=>'chelsea everton villa liverpool',
                ),

                     array(
                        '0'=>'milan inter juventus napoli',
                ),
        ),
                '1'=>array(
                        array(
                            '1'=>'madrid barcelona altetico getafe', 
                ),
                        array(
                            '1'=>'milan inter juventus napoli',
                )
        )
);

var_dump($data);
$array_bold = array(
                array(
                    '0'=>array(
                        '0'=>'chelsea everton',
                    ),
                        array(
                        '0'=>'juventus napoli',
                    ),
                ),
                    '1'=>array(
                        array(
                        '1'=>'barcelona altetico', 
                    ),
                        array(
                        '1'=>'inter juventus',
                    )
                )
);

var_dump($array_bold);
?>

so, the result like this:

array(2) { [0]=> array(2) { [0]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(31) "<b>chelsea everton<b/> villa liverpool" } [1]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(27) "milan inter <b>juventus napoli<b/>" } } [1]=> array(2) { [0]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(32) "madrid <b>barcelona altetico<b/> getafe" } [1]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(27) "milan <b>inter juventus<b/> napoli" } } }

help me :(

There is something missing from your example, there is no way to define for example $data[0][0][0] = 'chelsea everton villa Liverpool' and in the var_dump to get '<b>chelsea everton<b/> villa liverpool'.

Also there are many inconsistencies in the way that array. For example $data[0][0][0] is a string while $data[1][0][0] doesn’t exists and then $data[1][0][1] again is a string. And of course you have some commas that don’t make any sense e.g. after “villa liverpool'” .

Let’s assume that you want to extract bold tags from strings in a x Multi Dimensional Array

<?php

libxml_use_internal_errors(true);

/**
 * Here I use the data from your example. As I mentioned and as you can see
 * there seems to be something wrong about that array.
 */
$data = array(
          array('0'=>
                      array('0'=>'<b>chelsea everton</b> villa liverpool',),
                      array('0'=>'milan inter <b>juventus napoli</b>',),
                      ),
                '1'=> 
                array(
              array('1'=>'madrid <b>barcelona altetico</b> getafe',),
                    array('1'=>'milan <b>inter juventus</b> napoli',)
                    )
                );

var_dump(parseBoldsArray($data));





/**
 * Takes an array and returns an array with same dimentions that as values has 
 * only the text inside bold tags. If a value haven't bold tag or is not 
 * a string it puts an empty string. 
 * @param array $array
 */
function parseBoldsArray($array)
{
  if(!is_array($array))
  {
    throw new Exception(var_dump($array)." is not an array", 55501);
  }
  $parsedArray = array();
  foreach($array as $key => $value)
  {
    if(is_array($value))
    {
      $parsedArray[$key] = parseBoldsArray($value);
    }
    else if(is_string($value))
    {
      $parsedArray[$key] = parseBoldText($value);
    }
    else
    {
      $parsedArray[$key] = "";
    }
  }
  return $parsedArray;
}

/**
 * Takes a string and replace each contents that are inside bold tags or 
 * any empty string if there is no bold tag. 
 * @param string $string
 * @return string
 */
function parseBoldText($string)
{
  if(!is_string($string))
  {
    throw new Exception(var_dump($string)." is not a string", 55502);
  }  
  $doc = new DOMDocument();
  $doc->loadHTML($string);
  $boldNodesList = $doc->getElementsByTagName("b");
  $boldsArray = array();
  foreach($boldNodesList as $boldNode)
  {
    $boldsArray[] = $boldNode->textContent;
  }
  return implode(" ", $boldsArray);
}

?>

If the structure is going to remain consistent:

<?php 

$data = array(
    array(
        array(
            0 => 'chelsea everton villa liverpool',
        ),
        array(
            0 => 'milan inter juventus napoli',
        ),
    ),
    array(
        array(
            1 => 'madrid barcelona altetico getafe', 
        ),
        array(
            1 => 'milan inter juventus napoli',
        ),
    ),
);

$bold = array(
    array(
        array(
            0 => 'chelsea everton',
        ),
        array(
            0 => 'juventus napoli',
        ),
    ),
    array(
        array(
            1 => 'barcelona altetico', 
        ),
        array(
            1 => 'inter juventus',
        ),
    ),
);

$data_bold = array();

foreach($data as $i => $array_i)
{
    foreach($array_i as $j => $array_j)
    {
        foreach($array_j as $k => $value)
        {
            if(isset($bold[$i][$j][$k]))
            {
                $replace = $bold[$i][$j][$k];
                $value = str_replace($replace, "<strong>{$replace}</strong>", $value);
            }

            $data_bold[$i][$j][$k] = $value;
        }
    }
}

echo '<pre>'; var_dump($data_bold); echo '</pre>'; die;
