Help with the each() ...macro?

[Dark_Storm]

Ok, I am trying to send two values from a forum in an Array. And I am using the following code to try and delete a certain post, and then update the forum to like record it:

if ($deletemessages == "Reply")
{
$Numberdeleted = 0;

for ($n = 0; $n < count($Delete); $n++)
{
	$Line2 = each ($Delete);

	$Deleteq = "DELETE FROM forum WHERE id='$Line2[value]'";

	if (mysql_query($Deleteq))
	{
		$Numberdeleted = $Numberdeleted + 1;

		mysql_query("UPDATE forum SET $SF[$SelectForum]='Deleted <b>$Line2[$n][value]</b><br>at <i>$Currenttime</i>' WHERE id='1'") or die("Unable to complete Query 'TypeReplyDelete'");
	}
	else
	{
		print ("<b>Error:</b> Reply '$Line2[value]' was not deleted!<br>MySQL Error:<br>");
		print (mysql_error());
	}
}
print ("<br><b>$Numberdeleted</b> Reply(s) were Successfully Deleted!<br>");

}

The code where it says "$Line2 = each ($Delete);" takes a single entry from that array. But I can only figure it out if it is a singledimensional array. $Delete[id] but I want it to print out $Delete[id][name] only with the name only...
I hope i haven't confused you. Does nebody know how to do this?

the [man]foreach[/man] can step through an array and pull out each item all at the same time, including the array key... here is an example that i think might be of use for you... if not reply with a more dpecifc question, maybe with an example of what content is in $Delete

<?php

$delete = array();
$delete[222] = array( 'name'=>'ednark',     'value'=>'SYN' );
$delete[223] = array( 'name'=>'Dark_Storm', 'value'=>'ACK' );
$delete[224] = array( 'name'=>'ednark',     'value'=>'1 w1ll h4x0r j00' );
$delete[225] = array( 'name'=>'Dark_Storm', 'value'=>'k' );

foreach ( $delete as $post_id=>$post_info ) {
    echo "Deleting this post '{$post_id}'<br />\n";
    echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;user : '{$post_info['name']}'<br />\n";
    echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;value : '{$post_info['value']}'<br /><br />\n";
}

?>

oops forgot to add the tiein to each()...

punchline: there are several ways to step through an array, all can be made to do the same thing, but some are more useful "as is" in certain situations

<?php

$delete = array();
$delete[222] = array( 'name'=>'ednark',     'value'=>'SYN' );
$delete[223] = array( 'name'=>'Dark_Storm', 'value'=>'ACK' );
$delete[224] = array( 'name'=>'ednark',     'value'=>'1 w1ll h4x0r j00' );
$delete[225] = array( 'name'=>'Dark_Storm', 'value'=>'k' );

echo "<pre>\n<hr />foreach\n\n\n";

foreach ( $delete as $post_id=>$post_info ) {
    echo "Deleting this post '{$post_id}'<br />\n";
    echo "    user : '{$post_info['name']}'<br />\n";
    echo "    value : '{$post_info['value']}'<br /><br />\n";
}

echo "\n<hr />while each\n\n\n";

reset($delete);
while ( list($post_id,$post_info) = each($delete) ) {
    echo "Deleting this post '{$post_id}'<br />\n";
    echo "    user : '{$post_info['name']}'<br />\n";
    echo "    value : '{$post_info['value']}'<br /><br />\n";
}

echo "\n<hr />for\n\n\n";

reset($delete);
for ( $i=0; $i<count($delete); $i++ ) {
    list($post_id,$post_info) = each($delete);
    echo "Deleting this post '{$post_id}'<br />\n";
    echo "    user : '{$post_info['name']}'<br />\n";
    echo "    value : '{$post_info['value']}'<br /><br />\n";
}

echo "</pre>";
?>
