Embedding foreach loops

[Allen McCabe <allenmccabe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gmail automatically sent my last email, apologies.

I am creating an order form for tickets for a list of performances at a
performing arts center.

Currently, the form is on paper, and is set up as follows:
-Title     - date  - time - price - soldout - quantity - total($)
-Nutcracker - Tues 10/13 -  9am - $4.00 - yes/no  - ________ - ______
-Nutcracker - Tues 10/13 - 11am - $4.00 - yes/no  - ________ - ______
-Mayhem P.. - Thur 01/21 -  9am - $4.00 - yes/no  - ________ - ______
-Mayhem P.. - Thur 01/21 - 11am - $4.00 - yes/no  - ________ - ______
-Max and... - Tues 04/21 -  9am - $4.00 - yes/no  - ________ - ______

A given show may have between 1 and 4 performances, and I figured the best
way to approach this was to consider each show time for each show as an
entity. There are 19 unique titles, but given different showtimes, it
becomes 38 'shows'.

I have the shows in an array ($shows), and the details for each show in its
own array (eg. $show_01) embedded into the show array.

I need to generate a row for each show (so 38 rows), and assign quantity and
total input fields a unique name and id.

I can't seem to get my foreach loops to work, will PHP parse embedded loops?

Here is an example of my embedded arrays:

[code=shows.php]

$shows = array();

 $shows['show_01'] = $show_01;
  $show_01 = array();
  $show_01['title'] = 'Van Cliburn Gold Medal Winner';
  $show_01['date'] = 'Tues. 10/13/2009';
  $show_01['time'] = '11am';
  $show_01['price'] = 4.00;
  $show_01['soldout'] = 0; //IF THE SHOW SELLS OUT, CHANGE "0" to "1"
(without quotations).

 $shows['show_02'] = $show_02;
  $show_02 = array();
  $show_02['title'] = 'Jack and the Beanstalk';
  $show_02['date'] = 'Fri. 10/23/2009';
  $show_02['time'] = '11am';
  $show_02['price'] = 4.00;
  $show_02['soldout'] = 0; //IF THE SHOW SELLS OUT, CHANGE "0" to "1"
(without quotations).

[/code]

And here are the foreach loops I'm trying to build the rows with:

[code=order.php]

<?php
foreach ($shows as $key => $value) {
 foreach ($value as $key2 => $value2) {
      print '      <td bgcolor="#DDDDDD">'. $value2 .'</td>';
 }
 print '<tr><td>';
 print '      <td colspan="3" bgcolor="#DDDDDD"><input
name="'.$value.'_qty"  type="text" id="'.$value.'_qty" size="5"  /></td>';
 print '      <th bgcolor="#DDDDDD"><span class="style6">$</span>';
 print '        <input name="'.$value.'_total"  type="text"
id="'.$value.'_total" size="15" maxlength="6"  /></th>';
 print '      <th bgcolor="#DDDDDD" class="instruct">yes/no</th>';
 print '</tr>';
}
?>

[/code]

In case you were wondering why I embedded the foreach statement, I need each
array (eg. $show_22) to display in a row, and I need PHP to build as many
rows are there are shows.

Is this something I need to have in a database to work?

Thanks!
