PHP Array of Arrays

Code to get an array of arrays:

$str = file_get_contents('URLHERE');
$var = unserialize ($str);
print_r($var['ignored_id']);

Open in new window

In the browser I get this:

Array ( [1681189] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [account_id] => 1681189 [ignored_id] => 252 [nickname] => IsSuE ) [1] => Array ( [account_id] => 1681189 [ignored_id] => 322 [nickname] => Luki ) [2] => Array ( [account_id] => 1681189 [ignored_id] => 2248 [nickname] => MasterDX ) [3] => Array ( [account_id] => 1681189 [ignored_id] => 4606 [nickname] => Maels ) [4] => Array ( [account_id] => 1681189 [ignored_id] => 4613 [nickname] => Vortex ) [5] => Array ( [account_id] => 1681189 [ignored_id] => 6331 [nickname] => ) [6] => Array ( [account_id] => 1681189 [ignored_id] => 8090 ... and so on

As a source code in the browser it looks like this:

Array
(
    [1681189] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [account_id] => 1681189
                    [ignored_id] => 252
                    [nickname] => IsSuE
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [account_id] => 1681189
                    [ignored_id] => 322
                    [nickname] => Luki
                )

            [2] => Array
                (
                    [account_id] => 1681189
                    [ignored_id] => 2248
                    [nickname] => MasterDX
                )

            [3] => Array
                (
                    [account_id] => 1681189
                    [ignored_id] => 4606
                    [nickname] => Maels
                )

            [4] => Array
                (
                    [account_id] => 1681189
                    [ignored_id] => 4613
                    [nickname] => Vortex
                )

            [5] => Array
                (
                    [account_id] => 1681189
                    [ignored_id] => 6331
                    [nickname] => 
                )

            [6] => Array
                (
                    [account_id] => 1681189
                    [ignored_id] => 8090
                    [nickname] => Gratious
                )

            [7] => Array
                (
                    [account_id] => 1681189
                    [ignored_id] => 9622
                    [nickname] => Wightnish
                )
           )
)

Now what I need to do is:

Get all ignored_id fields into the string
then count how many i have there
and for each one of them, i need to send request to the server let's say: "http://externalpage.com/removeignored.php?id="

Thanks.

I already found an answer myself.

foreach($var["ignored_list"]["1681189"] as $value) {
$rm = file_get_contents('URL');
echo "<br />" .$rm . "<br />";
while ($now + 1 > time()) {
        // just a break between requests to the server to avoild flood
    }
}
