How do I....Referencing associative (?) array elements

[s_shrum]

This is really part of another post I made but figured it should exist on its own.

Let's say I created an associative (?, aka multidim'ed) array with parse_ini_file():

$my_array = parse_ini_file( "./myfile.ini");

How do I reference each element using the key name?

Also, how is a foreach() loop set up to deal with arrays? In perl the construct is '$_'; ala:

foreach ($my_array) {
echo($my_array[$][0] . "-" . $my_array[$][1] . "<br>");
}

TIA

foreach($array as $key => $value) {
   "Key is " . $key . "<br>";
   "Value is " . $value . "<br><br>";
}

$array is your array, $key is the key on the array (like if you have a form, the keyw ould be the name of the form field), and $value would hold the value of that array key.

Here's some more reading on it: http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php
