hey robert!!
thanks. and yeah, you're right, it's not the best.. so tell me, given that
i'm ripping through this on the fly, and i can have the structure in any way
i choose. this is just to simulate/populate some test tbls.. what's a better
way to create an array structure to have a collegename, followed by some
deptnames, followed by some classnames for the depts...
perhaps something like this??
$a = array
(
"college" => "foo",
array
(
"dept" => "physics",
"class" => array
(
"class1" => "sss",
"class2" => "sffgg"
)
),
array
(
"dept" => "english",
"class" => array
(
"class1" => "sss",
"class2" => "sffgg"
)
)
);

Your array is terribly structured. But the following provides traversal
in the way you want:
<?php
$a = array
(
"college" => "foo",
"dept1" => array
(
"dept" => "physics",
"class" => array
(
"class1" => "sss",
"class2" => "sffgg"
)
),
"dept2" => array
(
"dept" => "english",
"class" => array
(
"class1" => "sss",
"class2" => "sffgg"
)
)
);
$college = $a['college'];
foreach( $a as $deptKey => $deptInfo )
{
if( strpos( $deptKey, 'dept' ) === 0 )
{
$dept = $deptInfo['dept'];
foreach( $deptInfo['class'] as $class )
{
echo "$college, $dept, $class\n";
}
}
}
?>
Cheers,
Rob.
