API Request, & Nested Request, Merge Results

Question

I am making my first API call, which with Linnworks is rather slow and will only get worse as my inventory grows, so I would like to save the output to work with offline.

As I understand it, I make the first call to Linnworks for the Inventory;

$inventoryItems = Inventory::GetInventoryItems($views[0], $locationIds, 0, 10, $authorization->Token, "https://api.linnworks.net/");

Then based on the response of that I can then make the request for the Item Image(s);

 $images = Inventory::GetInventoryItemImages($item->Id, $authorization->Token, "https://api.linnworks.net/");

I would like the Images to be added to the array from the first request $inventoryItems, how do I go about doing this?

Here is what I have so far;

$authorization = json_decode(Factory::GetResponse("Auth/AuthorizeByApplication", "applicationId=asddas&applicationSecret=asdasd&token=asdasdasd", "", "https://api.linnworks.net/"));
$views = Inventory::GetInventoryViews($authorization->Token, "https://api.linnworks.net/");
file_put_contents("/tmp/views.json",json_encode($views));
$locations = Inventory::GetStockLocations($authorization->Token, "https://api.linnworks.net/");
file_put_contents("/tmp/locations.json",json_encode($locations));
$locationIds = array();
foreach($locations as $location){ $locationIds[] = $locations[0]->StockLocationId; }
$inventoryItems = Inventory::GetInventoryItems($views[0], $locationIds, 0, 10, $authorization->Token, "https://api.linnworks.net/");
foreach($inventoryItems->Items as $item){
 $images = Inventory::GetInventoryItemImages($item->Id, $authorization->Token, "https://api.linnworks.net/");
 foreach($images as $image){
  // Add Image to $inventoryItems ??
     $imageSource = $image->Source;
 }
}
// Save Complete Results Set
   file_put_contents("/tmp/inventoryItems.json",json_encode($inventoryItems));

Part of $InventoryItems output;

stdClass Object

    [Items] => Array
        (
            [0] => stdClass Object
                (

                    [Image] => 
                )

foreach($inventoryItems->Items as &$item){
 $images = Inventory::GetInventoryItemImages($item->Id, $authorization->Token, "https://api.linnworks.net/");
     $item->images =[];

 foreach($images as $image){
     $imageSource = $image->Source;
     $item->images[] = $imageSource;
 }
}

$item is you object so it's pass by reference by default but if it's not working then you can use &$item in foreach statement.

It's my plessure but have a look at this also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3307409/php-pass-by-reference-in-foreach – siddhesh Sep 10 '16 at 10:19
Half the problem with these things is know what you want to achieve but not knowing the question to ask, as you rightly pointed out in the first place. – Stuart Sep 10 '16 at 10:22
