Replace a value in an Array PHP

Question

I need to do a search and replace in a multi layer array. I just have not been able to get it to work. I know it is something simple. Should I be looking at a walk or string replace. Nothing seems to work.

I this array:

I want to replace all the words 'Test' with 'Yes'

I have been trying to use

$replacevalue = 'Jon';
function array_replacing(&$item, $key)
{
    if($value== 'test')
        $item = $replacevalue;
}

array_walk_recursive($result, 'array_replacing');

But is not working. I even tried str_replace. No luck. Can you help?

Full Code: (minus authorization)

$authWsdl = 'https://webservices.autotask.net/atservices/1.5/atws.wsdl';
$opts = array('trace' => 1);
$client = new ATWS\Client($authWsdl, $opts);
$zoneInfo = $client->getZoneInfo($username);

//print_r($zoneInfo);

$authOpts = array(
    'login' => $username,
    'password' => $password,
    'trace' => 1,   // Allows us to debug by getting the XML requests sent
);
$wsdl = str_replace('.asmx', '.wsdl', $zoneInfo->getZoneInfoResult->URL);
$client = new ATWS\Client($wsdl, $authOpts);

$query = new ATWS\AutotaskObjects\Query('AccountAlert');

$Alerttexttoreplace = new ATWS\AutotaskObjects\QueryField('AlertText');
$lookvalue = 'test';
$Alerttexttoreplace->addExpression('contains', $lookvalue);

$query->addField($Alerttexttoreplace);

//$AccountID->$query($AccountID)
//print_r($AccountID)
//$updatequery = $query->update($query)

// If you want to debug the XML produced by the Query object
// print($query->asXml());

// Print the results of the query
//print_r($client->query($query));

//set limited aray
$result = $client->query($query);
//print_r ($result);
//die();
$final = $result->queryResult->EntityResults->Entity;
//print_r ($final);

//Replace value in array

$replacevalue = 'Jon';

foreach ($final as $key=>$val) 
    {
        if ($key='AlertText' ) 
        {
            //$final = str_replace($lookvalue,$replacevalue,$val=>'AlertText');
            echo 'old';
            print_r($val);
            echo 'new';
            print_r($newval);
        }

    }





//print_r ($final);
die(end);

No... still no change. I think the issue how deep it is in the array — jbalter

You haven't defined $value, simply change to this:

function array_replacing(&$item, $key)
{
    if($item == 'test')
        $item = $replacevalue;
}

I was thinking something like

foreach ($final as $key=>$val) { if ($key='AlertText' ) { $newval = str_replace($lookvalue,$replacevalue,$val=>'AlertText'); echo 'old'; print_r($val); echo 'new'; print_r($newval); } }

Are you getting errors? Your input is an object not an array, that would explain it.
