PHP多维数组排序&；删除行 - PHP multidimensional array sort & delete rows

我有一个PHP多维关联数组，其结构如下：

Fields: TYPE - COLOUR - SIZE - PRICE
[0] - rose, var2, var3, price
[1] - rose, var2, var3, price
[2] - daffodil, var2, var3, price
[3] - tulip, var2, var3, price
[4] - rose, var2, var3, price
[5] - tulip, var2, var3, price
[6] - daffodil, var2, var3, price

我想遍历这个数组，对于每个类型，我想选择价格最低的一个，并删除该类型的所有其他行。钥匙不必保存。

最后，我想要一个每种类型只有一行的数组。

我对如何做到这一点感到困惑，所以我感激地收到了任何建议。

编辑：抱歉，我的数组可能已经足够清楚了，下面是它的另一个片段：

Fields: TYPE - COLOUR - SIZE - PRICE
[0] - type=>rose, colour=>var2, size=>var3, price=>£price
[1] - type=>rose, colour=>var2, size=>var3, price=>£price
[2] - type=>daffodil, colour=>var2, size=>var3, price=>£price
[3] - type=>tulip, colour=>var2, size=>var3, price=>£price
[4] - type=>rose, colour=>var2, size=>var3, price=>£price
[5] - type=>tulip, colour=>var2, size=>var3, price=>£price
[6] - type=>daffodil, colour=>var2, size=>var3, price=>£price

您的任务实际上并不需要排序。你只是在搜索最低的项目（每种类型的adj.！）——这可以（仍然！）在O（n）中完成。

$cheapest = array();
foreach ($flower as $id => $f) {
  $c_price = $cheapest[$f['type']]['price'];
  if (!$c_price || $f['price'] < $c_price) {
    $cheapest[$f['type']] = $f;
  }
}
print_r($cheapest);

编辑：修改了我的答案。这将创建一个关联数组，其中键是类型，值是价格最低的原始数组。

祝你好运！

Mikhail解决方案的编辑版本，以返回OP要求的内容。

$minid = array();
$minPrice = array();
foreach ($flower as $id => $f) {
  if (!isset($minPrice[$f['type']]) || $f['price'] < $minPrice[$f['type']]) {
    $minPrice[$f['type']] = $f['price'];
    $minid[$f['type']] = $id;
  }
}
$filtered = array();
foreach ($minid as $id)
  $filtered[] = $flower[$id];

<?php
// First, let's define the data we'll be working through.
$flowers = array(
    array('type'=>'rose',     'colour'=>'var2', 'size'=>'var3', 'price'=>'£9.99' ),
    array('type'=>'rose',     'colour'=>'var2', 'size'=>'var3', 'price'=>'£8.67'),
    array('type'=>'daffodil', 'colour'=>'var2', 'size'=>'var3', 'price'=>'£16.04'),
    array('type'=>'tulip',    'colour'=>'var2', 'size'=>'var3', 'price'=>'£4.39' ),
    array('type'=>'rose',     'colour'=>'var2', 'size'=>'var3', 'price'=>'£12.49'),
    array('type'=>'tulip',    'colour'=>'var2', 'size'=>'var3', 'price'=>'£4.49' ),
    array('type'=>'daffodil', 'colour'=>'var2', 'size'=>'var3', 'price'=>'£11.99'),
);
// Define the array which will store our final flower prices
$flower_prices = array();
// Loop through our flowers to find the lowest price.
foreach($flowers as $flower) {
    // Remove the pound from the price, and cast as a floating point decimal.
    $price = (float) str_replace('£', '', $flower['price']);
    if(!array_key_exists($flower['type'], $flower_prices)) {
        // First flower type encounter. By default, as of right now, this is the "cheapest".
        $flower_prices[$flower['type']] = $flower;
    } else if($price < (float) str_replace('£', '', $flower_prices[$flower['type']]['price'])) {
        // Flower type previously encountered, and the now encountered flower is cheaper.
        $flower_prices[$flower['type']] = $flower;
    }
}
// Now that we've determined which flowers are cheapest, we can print the results:
foreach($flower_prices as $price) {
    print $price['type'] . ': ' . $price['price'] . "'n";
}

将Mikhail的更进一步，希望能更符合您的要求：

    $selectedRows = array();
    foreach ($flower as $id => $f) {
       if( ! isset( $selectedRows[$f['type']] ) ) {
          $selectedRows[$f['type']]['id'] = $f['id'];
          $selectedRows[$f['type']]['price'] = $f['price'];
       } else {
           if ( $f['price'] < $selectedRows[$f['type']]['price'] ) {
             $selectedRows[$f['type']]['price'] = $f['price'];
             $selectedRows[$f['type']]['id'] = $f['id'];
           } 
       }
    }
    // Now you can look through the selectedRows, use the 
    foreach( $selectedRows as $v ){
        echo $flower[$v['id']].' $'.$v['price'].'<br />';
    }

此外，如果你的阵列是这样的：

$flower[0]["玫瑰"]["蓝色"]["大号"]["4.99"]=随便什么；

我建议将其更改为：

$flower[0]=>数组（"type"=>"rose"、"color"=>"blue"、"size"=>"large"、"price"=>"4.99"）；
