iterating thru array in a class

[stevenrhiggins]

I'm just learning about classes and I'm stumped on the following.

Part of the class I'm working on involves a drop down menu.

var $option_names=array();

var $path=array();

The following only produces Array[0],Array[1]..and so on rather than the values I've created in the arrays in the php page.

function printMenu() {

print"<select name="blah">";

for($i=0;$i<count($this->option_names);$i++) {

print"<option value='$this->path[$i]'>$this->option_names[$i]</option>";

}

print"</select>";

}

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

Try following:

print"<option value='".$this->path[$i]."'>".$this->option_names[$i]."</option>";

Perhaps it works! 🙂

Thanks, I tried that, but it didn't work. Actually I just solved the problem by using a multi-dimensional array so that I could use "foreach" to move throught the elements.

So first I created a md array in my php page as below.

$itemMenu->option_names=array(

	array("path"=>"","menu"=>"--Items--"),

	array("path"=>"items.php?cmd=additem","menu"=>"Add Items"),

	array("path"=>"items.php?cmd=viewitems","menu"=>"View Items")

	);

Then used foreach to display elements.

foreach($this->option_names as $options) {

print"<option value='$options[path]'>$options[menu]</option>";

	}
