Config Arrays

Im trying to make a function that will add a "rank" to a player like the following

Code:

---
shadowmcx:
  ranks:
    - "Inmate"
    - "Admin"
...

Currently im only able to have one rank like shown

Code:

---
shadowmcx:
  rank: Inmate
...

But I wanna have multiple ranks per player, below is the working code I use to set a players rank, but I dont know how to do multiple ranks per player

PHP:

public function setRank($player, $rank) {               
                
            if($player instanceof Player){
                    
                    $this->players->setNested(strtolower($player->getName()) . ".rank", $this->players->getAll() [strtolower($player->getName())]["rank"] = $rank);
                    
                    
                  
                } else {
                    
                    $this->players->setNested(strtolower($player) . ".rank", $this->players->getAll() [strtolower($player)]["rank"] = $rank);
                    
                    
                    
                }
                $this->players->save();
                return true;
            }

 

First of all, get the current value

PHP:

// This could go into separate method (getRanks?)
$name = trim(strtolower($player instanceof Player ? $player->getName() : $player));
$ranks = $this->players->getNested("player.$name.rank") ?? [];


Add the new rank to previous value (might need array_unique)

PHP:

$this->players->setNested("player.$name.rank", array_merge($ranks, $rank));


The naming doesn't make much sense now, I'd prefer addRank : void

 

Im getting this error

Code:

[Server thread/CRITICAL]: ParseError: "syntax error, unexpected '$player' (T_VARIABLE)" (EXCEPTION) in "plugins/ShadowRanks/src/ShadowMC/ShadowRanks/Loader" at line 87

LINE 87

PHP:

$name = trim(strtolower($player instanceof Player ? $player->getName() : $player));

 

This looks hopeless, however could you show me the whole code and context of that line?

Just copying and pasting stuff will not resolve your issue!

 

PHP:

public function setRank($player, $rank) {              
               
            $name = trim(strtolower($player instanceof Player ? $player->getName() : $player));
           
$ranks = $this->players->getNested("$name.rank") ?? [];
$this->players->setNested("$name.rank", array_merge($ranks, $rank));
                $this->players->save();
                return true;
            }
