How can I get the highest value from an array? For example, I'm trying to get the highest result of each quiz instead of multiple results of the same test.
I have an array that looks like this:
[
{
"ID":"806",
"user_login":"123456789",
"post_title":"Foo Test 1",
"display_name":"John Doe",
"activity_meta_value":"100",
"activity_completed":"1543142130"
},
{
"ID":"806",
"user_login":"123456789",
"post_title":"Foo Test 2",
"display_name":"John Doe",
"activity_meta_value":"75",
"activity_completed":"1543144312"
},
{
"ID":"806",
"user_login":"123456789",
"post_title":"Foo Test 2",
"display_name":"John Doe",
"activity_meta_value":"75",
"activity_completed":"1543144528"
},
{
"ID":"1167",
"user_login":"987654321",
"post_title":"Foo Test 2",
"display_name":"Karen Eliot",
"activity_meta_value":"75",
"activity_completed":"1543156089"
},
{
"ID":"1167",
"user_login":"987654321",
"post_title":"Foo Test 2",
"display_name":"Karen Eliot",
"activity_meta_value":"100",
"activity_completed":"1543156480"
}
]
I then rearrange the array to the following structure to make it easier to work with. this is the output of the array after I rearranged it.
[
{
"id":"806",
"user_login":"123456789",
"user_name":"John Doe",
"quizes":[
{
"quiz":"Foo Test 1",
"score":"90",
"quiz_completed":"1543141990"
},
{
"quiz":"Foo Test 1",
"score":"100",
"quiz_completed":"1543142130"
},
{
"quiz":"Foo Test 2",
"score":"75",
"quiz_completed":"1543144312"
},
{
"quiz":"Foo Test 2",
"score":"75",
"quiz_completed":"1543144528"
}
]
},
{
"id":"1167",
"user_login":"987654321",
"user_name":"Karen Eliot",
"quizes":[
{
"quiz":"Foo Test 2",
"score":"75",
"quiz_completed":"1543156089"
},
{
"quiz":"Foo Test 2",
"score":"100",
"quiz_completed":"1543156480"
}
]
}
]
I do this by using the following function:
function student_scores( $data ) {
global $wpdb;
$quizzes = $wpdb->get_results( " SELECT $wpdb->users.ID, $wpdb->users.user_login, $wpdb->posts.post_title, $wpdb->users.display_name, " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity_meta.activity_meta_value, " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity.activity_completed
FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity
INNER JOIN $wpdb->users ON " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity.user_id = $wpdb->users.ID
INNER JOIN " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity_meta ON " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity.activity_id = " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity_meta.activity_id
INNER JOIN $wpdb->posts ON " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity.post_id = $wpdb->posts.ID
INNER JOIN $wpdb->usermeta ON $wpdb->users.ID = $wpdb->usermeta.user_id
WHERE " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity.activity_type = 'quiz' AND " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity_meta.activity_meta_key = 'percentage' AND " . $wpdb->prefix . "usermeta.meta_value = " . $data['id'] . "GROUP BY " . $wpdb->prefix . "learndash_user_activity.activity_id ", ARRAY_A );
$out = array();
foreach ( $quizzes as $x ) {
$out[ $x['ID'] ]['id'] = $x['ID'];
$out[ $x['ID'] ]['user_login'] = $x['user_login'];
$out[ $x['ID'] ]['user_name'] = $x['display_name'];
$out[ $x['ID'] ]['quizes'][] = array(
'quiz' => $x['post_title'],
'score' => $x['activity_meta_value'],
'quiz_completed' => $x['activity_completed']
);
}
if ( empty( $out ) ) {
return new WP_Error(
'no_students',
'invalid group',
array(
'status' => 404
)
);
}
return array_values( $out );
}
I want to get the highest value for each test per user. Each user has 2 takes on a quiz, and I want to get the higher score of the same test. For example, if a user has taken quiz Foo Test 1 twice and gets 50 the first time and 70 the second time, I would like to return only the 70 for Foo Test 1.
I hope my question is clear enough. Thanks in advance.
