Not quite. The following is probably what you want:
<?php
$colleges = array
(
array
(
'name' => 'Blah Blah University',
'depts' => array
(
array
(
'name' => 'physics',
'classes' => array
(
'sss',
'sffgg',
),
),
array
(
'name' => 'english',
'classes' => array
(
'sss',
'sffgg',
),
),
),
),
array
(
'name' => 'Glah Gleh University',
'depts' => array
(
array
(
'name' => 'physics',
'classes' => array
(
'sss',
'sffgg',
),
),
array
(
'name' => 'english',
'classes' => array
(
'sss',
'sffgg',
),
),
),
),
);
foreach( $colleges as $college )
{
$collegeName = $college['name'];
foreach( $college['depts'] as $dept )
{
$deptName = $dept['name'];
foreach( $dept['classes'] as $className )
{
echo "$collegeName, $deptName, $className\n";
}
}
}
?>
Cheers,
Rob.
