hi,
thanks for your reply.
i have figured out, well kind of, and got the data i need but the problem is its nested within to many arrays!
Array (
[threads & form types] =>
Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => imperial thread form [id] => 28 [page_cat_id] => 9 [main_nav] => true ) [1] => Array ( [name] => metric iso threads [id] => 29 [page_cat_id] => 9 [main_nav] => true ) )
[material range] =>
Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => super duplex stainless steels [id] => 30 [page_cat_id] => 10 [main_nav] => true ) [1] => Array ( [name] => standard stainless steels [id] => 31 [page_cat_id] => 10 [main_nav] => true ) [2] => Array ( [name] => non ferrous [id] => 32 [page_cat_id] => 10 [main_nav] => true ) [3] => Array ( [name] => carbon based steels [id] => 33 [page_cat_id] => 10 [main_nav] => true ) )
)
how can i get this just do its a $k => $v pair,
the key as it is [threads & form types] && [material range], and the value, the single array [Array ( [name] => imperial thread form [id] => 28 [page_cat_id] => 9 [main_nav] => true ) [1] => Array ( [name] => metric iso threads [id] => 29 [page_cat_id] => 9 [main_nav] => true )] ?
hope this makes sense
