I receive the following array via an XML feed:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[sub_family_id] => 290**
[image_types] => 1 2**
[short_name] => Vibratory Soil**
[long_name] => Vibratory Soil Compactors**
[image_id] => C018741**
)
[1] => Array
(
[sub_family_id] => 287**
[image_types] => 1 2**
[short_name] => Soil**
[long_name] => Soil Compactors**
[image_id] => C018741**
)
[2] => Array
(
[sub_family_id] => 286**
[image_types] => 1 2**
[short_name] => Landfill**
[long_name] => Landfill Compactors**
[image_id] => C018741**
)
[3] => Array
(
[sub_family_id] => 288**
[image_types] => 1 2**
[short_name] => Vibratory Asphalt**
[long_name] => Vibratory Asphalt Compactors**
[image_id] => C018741**
)
[4] => Array
(
[sub_family_id] => 289**
[image_types] => 1 2**
[short_name] => Pneumatic**
[long_name] => Pneumatic Compactors**
[image_id] => C018741**
)
)
What's the best way to make this information easily accessible? My idea is
to convert it to an associative array (trimming the double asterisks in the
process) and use the sub_family_id as the key. I could then simply access
the short_name value "Pneumatic" for sub_family_id "289" like
$array['289']['short_name']
Is this a reasonable approach? Is there a better method?
