Re: traversing multi-dimensional arrays

Forget about the $cars array. The array "key" in the $models array will be your car list.

$cars=array("ford","chevy");
$models=array("ford"=>array("ranger","escape"),"chevy"=>array("malibu"," tahoe"));
//Loop through first level of array, getting car maker
foreach($models as $carmaker=>$models) {
//Loop through car models, paring up with maker
foreach($models as $model) {
echo $carmaker.'-'.$model.'<br />';
}
}


Another option, which isn't as readable, is to use implode instead of the inner loop.
$cars=array("ford","chevy");
$models=array("ford"=>array("ranger","escape"),"chevy"=>array("malibu"," tahoe"));
foreach($models as $car=>$models) {
$pairing = $car.'-'.implode('<br />'.$car.'-',$models).'<br />';
echo $pairing;
}

Hello all,

What is the best way to do this?  I have two arrays:

$cars=array("ford","chevy");
$models=array("ford"=>array("ranger","escape"),"chevy"=>array("malibu", "tahoe"));


then I need to traverse both arrays:

   foreach ($cars as $car){
		   //now I need to get into the models array and echo out all of the
models that
                 //coincide with the specific car so it should print
out ford-ranger
                //I basically want to do this but can't
               //how can I get into this second array without looping
through the whole thing each time?
   foreach($cars[$car] as $model){

              }

		  }

Thanks!
