The function tests whether the array index is set and whether it has a value. If -a value exists it is returned. If a value does not exist it returns FALSE, or whatever you've specified as the default value via the third parameter. Example:</p> - -<code> -$array = array('color' => 'red', 'shape' => 'round', 'size' => '');<br /> -<br /> -// returns "red"<br /> -echo element('color', $array);<br /> -<br /> -// returns NULL<br /> -echo element('size', $array, NULL); -</code> - - -<h2>random_element()</h2> - -<p>Takes an array as input and returns a random element from it. Usage example:</p> - -<code>$quotes = array(<br /> - "I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. - Thomas Jefferson",<br /> - "Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed. - George Burns",<br /> - "We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time. - Vince Lombardi",<br /> - "If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti",<br /> - "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. - Albert Einstein",<br /> - "Chance favors the prepared mind - Louis Pasteur"<br /> - );<br /> -<br /> -echo random_element($quotes);</code> - - -<h2>elements()</h2> - -<p>Lets you fetch a number of items from an array. The function tests whether each of the array indices is set. If an index does not exist -it is set to FALSE, or whatever you've specified as the default value via the third parameter. Example:</p> - -<code> -$array = array(<br /> - 'color' => 'red',<br /> - 'shape' => 'round',<br /> - 'radius' => '10',<br /> - 'diameter' => '20'<br /> -);<br /> -<br /> -$my_shape = elements(array('color', 'shape', 'height'), $array);<br /> -</code> - -<p>The above will return the following array:</p> - -<code> -array(<br /> - 'color' => 'red',<br /> - 'shape' => 'round',<br /> - 'height' => FALSE<br /> -); -</code> - -<p>You can set the third parameter to any default value you like:</p> - -<code> -$my_shape = elements(array('color', 'shape', 'height'), $array, NULL);<br /> -</code> - -<p>The above will return the following array:</p> - -<code> -array(<br /> - 'color' => 'red',<br /> - 'shape' => 'round',<br /> - 'height' => NULL<br /> -); -</code> - -<p>This is useful when sending the <kbd>$_POST</kbd> array to one of your Models. This prevents users from -sending additional POST data to be entered into your tables:</p> - -<code> -$this->load->model('post_model');<br /> -<br /> -$this->post_model->update(elements(array('id', 'title', 'content'), $_POST)); -</code> - -<p>This ensures that only the id, title and content fields are sent to be updated.</p> - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="../libraries/javascript.html">Javascript Class</a> · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="captcha_helper.html">CAPTCHA Helper</a></p> -<p><a href="http://codeigniter.com">CodeIgniter</a> · Copyright © 2006 - 2011 · <a href="http://ellislab.com/">EllisLab, Inc.</a></p> -</div> - -</body> -</html>
