If statement inside array?

Question

I have an array each array has a value.

Here is an example of this:

$sales_payload = array( 'organization_id' => $organization_id, 'contact_id' => $contact_id, 'status' => 'Open', 'subject' => $_product->post_title." ".str_replace($strToRemove, "", $_POST['billing_myfield12']), 'start_date' => date("Y-m-d"), // set start date on today 'expected_closing_date' => date("Y-m-d",strtotime(date("Y-m-d")."+ 14 days")), // set expected closing date 2 weeks from now 'chance_to_score' => '10%', 'expected_revenue' => 0, //set the expected revenue 'note' => $_POST['order_comments'], 'progress' => array( 'id'=>'salesprogress:200a53bf6d2bbbfe' //fill a valid salesprogress id to set proper sales progress ), "custom_fields"=> [[ if(strpos($_POST['billing_myfield13'], 'ja') !== false) { [["actief_in_duitsland"=>1]] } ]] );

I am now trying to fill a certain array in my code this one:

"custom_fields"=> [["actief_in_duitsland"=>1]]

This works. Only thing is I want the value to be =>1 on a certain condition. This condition is if a certain POST request contains a certain string then make the value => 1

I tried this :

"custom_fields"=> [[ if(strpos($_POST['billing_myfield13'], 'ja') !== false) { [["actief_in_duitsland"=>1]] } ]]

So

if(strpos($_POST['billing_myfield13'], 'ja') !== false) { [["actief_in_duitsland"=>1]] }

If the $_POST['billing_myfield13'] contains the word 'ja'

then [["actief_in_duitsland"=>1]]

No, you can't have if statements inside array definitions. You can however use ternarys, though whether those are appropriate is another matter. — Jonnix

or you could just assign the boolean result of your comparison — Franz Gleichmann

You can use ternary conditions, which is a shortcut for an if statement. Here is an example of how ternary conditions works :

A regular if would be written like this :

if( "mycondition" == 1 ) { $boolean = true; } else { $boolean = false; }

The equivalent of this statement with ternary condition would be written like below :

$boolean = ( "mycondition" == 1 ) ? true : false;

You might want to use this shortcut to instanciate your array like following :

$sales_payload = [ // ... 'custom_fields' => ( strpos($_POST['billing_myfield13'], 'ja') !== false ) ? [['actief_duitsland' => 1]] : [['actief_duitsland' => '???']], // ... ];

Warning

You should also define a else value for this statement.

If statement inside the array shouldn't work, you can try following code

 $actief_in_duitsland = (strpos($_POST['billing_myfield13'], 'ja') !== false) ? 1 : 0; $sales_payload = array( 'organization_id' => $organization_id, 'contact_id' => $contact_id, 'status' => 'Open', 'subject' => $_product->post_title." ".str_replace($strToRemove, "", $_POST['billing_myfield12']), 'start_date' => date("Y-m-d"), // set start date on today 'expected_closing_date' => date("Y-m-d",strtotime(date("Y-m-d")."+ 14 days")), // set expected closing date 2 weeks from now 'chance_to_score' => '10%', 'expected_revenue' => 0, //set the expected revenue 'note' => $_POST['order_comments'], 'progress' => array( 'id'=>'salesprogress:200a53bf6d2bbbfe' //fill a valid salesprogress id to set proper sales progress ), "custom_fields"=> [['actief_in_duitsland' => $actief_in_duitsland]] );
