I build two arrays (I can't use SQL for this as I am using ROQL qhich only allows for very basic SELECT statements as shown) from a SQL query.

I then want to see if any row matches in Array B based off X columns between Array A and Array B

So in the simplified example below, it does a "FULL" match if both the forename and surname exist in a row. It returns "SURNAME" match if just the surname, and "FORENAME" match if it is just the forename that exists.

My question is whether I am using the right functions - how could this be optimised? Returning a filtered array seems too much where I just want to see if that combination of values exists across multiple columns

CODE

$a = array();

$b = array();



RNCPHPConnectAPI::getCurrentContext()->ApplicationContext = "Get contacts";

$res = RNCPHPROQL::query("SELECT Contact.Name.First,Contact.Name.Last FROM CONTACT WHERE disabled=0 LIMIT 500")->next();

while($r = $res->next()) {

    try {

        $a_inner = array();

        $a_inner["forename"] = $r['First'];

        $a_inner["surname"] = $r['Last'];

        $a = $a_inner;

    }

    catch ( Exception $err ){

        echo "<p><b>Exception</b>: line ".__LINE__.": ".$err->getMessage()."</p>";

    }



}

$res = RNCPHPROQL::query("SELECT Contact.Name.First,Contact.Name.Last FROM CONTACT WHERE disabled=1 LIMIT 20000")->next();

while($r = $res->next()) {

    try {

        $b_inner = array();

        $b_inner["forename"] = $r['First'];

        $b_inner["surname"] = $r['Last'];

        $b = $b_inner;

    }

    catch ( Exception $err ){

        echo "<p><b>Exception</b>: line ".__LINE__.": ".$err->getMessage()."</p>";

    }

}



foreach ($a as $k => $v) {



    $n = $a['forename'];

    $e = $a['surname'];



    $full_match = array_filter($b, function($val) use($n, $e){

        return ($val['forename']==$n AND $val['surname']==$e);

    });



    echo $v['forename'] . ' ' . $v['surname'] . ' - ';



    if (!empty($full_match)) {

        echo 'FULL MATCH<br>';

        //return false;

        continue;

    }



    $surname_match = array_filter($b, function($val) use($e){

        return ($val['surname']==$e);

    });



    if (!empty($surname_match)) {

        echo 'SURNAME MATCH<br>';

        //return false;

        continue;

    }



    $forname_match = array_filter($b, function($val) use($n){

        return ($val['forename']==$n);

    });



    if (!empty($forname_match)) {

        echo 'FORENAME MATCH<br>';

        //return false;

        continue;

    }

    echo '<br>';

}
