Hello
I found this great function to calculate permutations
function array_combination($le, $set){
$lk = combination_number($le, count($set));
$ret = array_fill(0, $lk, array_fill(0, $le, '') );
$temp = array();
for ($i = 0 ; $i < $le ; $i++)
$temp[$i] = $i;
$ret[0] = $temp;
for ($i = 1 ; $i < $lk ; $i++){
if ($temp[$le-1] != count($set)-1){
$temp[$le-1]++;
} else {
$od = -1;
for ($j = $le-2 ; $j >= 0 ; $j--)
if ($temp[$j]+1 != $temp[$j+1]){
$od = $j;
break;
}
if ($od == -1)
break;
$temp[$od]++;
for ($j = $od+1 ; $j < $le ; $j++)
$temp[$j] = $temp[$od]+$j-$od;
}
$ret[$i] = $temp;
}
for ($i = 0 ; $i < $lk ; $i++)
for ($j = 0 ; $j < $le ; $j++)
$ret[$i][$j] = $set[$ret[$i][$j]];
return $ret;
}
$mySet = array("1","2","3","4");
print_r(array_combination(3, $mySet));
The result is shown in a multidimensional array .
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 4 ) [2] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 3 [2] => 4 ) [3] => Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 3 [2] => 4 ) )
What I have to do to show data in this way ?
1 2 3
1 2 4
1 3 4
2 3 4
I am using this
foreach ($mySet as $key =>$val) {
echo “
$val”;
}
but it returns only this
1
2
3
4
any help please ?
Thank you
