This is actually a much smaller data structure.
$colleges = array
(
'Blah Blah University' =>
array
(
'physics' => array
(
'sss',
'sffgg',
),
'english' => array
(
'sss',
'sffgg',
)
),
'Glah Gleh University' =>
array
(
'physics' => array
(
'sss',
'sffgg',
),
'english' => array
(
'sss',
'sffgg',
),
)
);
foreach( $colleges as $collegeName => $depts )
{
foreach( $depts as $deptName => $classes)
{
foreach( $classes as $className )
{
echo "$collegeName, $deptName, $className\n";
}
}
}
