I am delighted with the PHP data structure I have been able to create
Populating/creating the data structure (array of records)
foreach ($results_products_cnt as $l3key => $count)
{
$cathash[$l3key]['href']=$catalog_href;
$cathash[$l3key]['count']=$count;
$cathash[$l3key]['title']=$title;
}
accessing it
foreach ($cathash as $v2 => $v1)
{
$href=$v1['href'];
$count=$v1['count'];
$catalog_h1=$v1['title'];
$html.="<a href='$href'>$v2</a> ($count)<br>";
}
As you say Brent it's really intuitive.
I've been able to drastically shrink my PHP code
