Ravinder,
Please write a PHP function to parse the $color[] array and create the string(2) to append in the badge alert text.
Hint: You need to read a $serialized_badges JSON string (which we will get from the user table and convert it to a PHP array using json_decode() then perhaps a foreach() loop to compare against the current $color[] array.
Or, you can do all this in Javascript by storing the badge[] js array serialized in localstorage, which is how I would do it I think.... No reason to do this in PHP, so I think best to do in Javascript.

I have moved the bug badge out of reserve and into the main stream. Basically, I will assign a color level like the others, based on who has made a good actionable bug report for UNIX.COM. "Good" means screenshots, links, and even details from web dev tools our the HTML source code. So far,... (0 Replies)

array_merge_recursive
ARRAY_MERGE_RECURSIVE(3) 1 ARRAY_MERGE_RECURSIVE(3)
array_merge_recursive - Merge two or more arrays recursively
SYNOPSIS
array array_merge_recursive (array $array1, [array $...])
DESCRIPTION
array_merge_recursive(3) merges the elements of one or more arrays together so that the values of one are appended to the end of the previ-
ous one. It returns the resulting array.
If the input arrays have the same string keys, then the values for these keys are merged together into an array, and this is done recur-
sively, so that if one of the values is an array itself, the function will merge it with a corresponding entry in another array too. If,
however, the arrays have the same numeric key, the later value will not overwrite the original value, but will be appended.
PARAMETERS
o $array1
- Initial array to merge.
o $...
- Variable list of arrays to recursively merge.
RETURN VALUES
An array of values resulted from merging the arguments together.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
array_merge_recursive(3) example
<?php
$ar1 = array("color" => array("favorite" => "red"), 5);
$ar2 = array(10, "color" => array("favorite" => "green", "blue"));
$result = array_merge_recursive($ar1, $ar2);
print_r($result);
?>
The above example will output:
Array
(
[color] => Array
(
[favorite] => Array
(
[0] => red
[1] => green
)
[0] => blue
)
[0] => 5
[1] => 10
)
