Can you please tell me where I am going wrong? <?php $rows = array(); $rows[0] = array(4,11,24, 26,36,38, 45,35,44, 48); $rows[1] = array(1,0,13, 9,35,33,47, 25,39,55) ; $row3[2] = array(4,11,24,26,36,38,45,35,44,48); $row3[3] = array(1,0,13,9,35,33,47,25,39,55); $row3[4] = array(5,12,14,54,35,36,48,65,55,87); $row3[5] = array(0,2,55,26,41,36,67,35,36,69); $row3[6] = array(1,3,13,24,35,42,42,45,39,70); $row3[7] = array(1,2,3,64,8,37,6,49,35,36,48); $row3[8] = array(9,11,24,26,16,38,45,35,44,48); $row3[9] = array(3,0,13,9,35,23,47,25,39,55); $max_rows = count($rows) ; foreach ($rows as $curr_row) { for ($i = 0; $i <= $max_rows; $i++) { $common = array_intersect( $curr_row, $rows[$i]); foreach ($common as $key => $value) { echo "Key: $key; Value: $value\n"; } echo "<BR>" } } ?> Robert barker --- "Atkinson, Robert" <ratkinson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Very roughly..... > > > $rows = array(); > $rows[0] = array(4,11,24,26,36,38,45,35,44,48); > $rows[1] = array(1,0,13,9,35,33,47,25,39,55); > ...etc,etc > > This gives you a known list to work with.
