Simple array question

[JakesSA]

Ive got a simple assoc array that I want to loop out.

$data[] = array("name" => "Joe", "surname" => "Soap", 
              "name" => "Bob", "surname"=>"Long");

foreach($data as $setName) 
    {
    	foreach ($setName as $var=>$val)
    	{
		    print $var. " = " . $val . "\n";
	    }
    }

This only returns the last set of values i.e Bob Long . I do I release the others?

That's because Bob Long is the only set of values in the array. Your associative array is:
array(
"name" => "Joe",
"surname" => "Soap",
"name" => "Bob",
"surname"=>"Long")

Only one value per key, so "Joe" gets replaced by "Bob" and "Soap" gets replaced by "Long".

So it's probably just a bit of typographical confusion. Try a first line of

$data = array(
              array("name" => "Joe", "surname" => "Soap"), 
              array("name" => "Bob", "surname"=>"Long")
        );

or

$data[] = array("name" => "Joe", "surname" => "Soap");
$data[] = array("name" => "Bob", "surname"=>"Long");

if $data is initially empy, or it's not and you want to reatin what elements it already has.
