Help Please - Creating An Array

[lcp03o]

Please Help, I have written the PHP code shown below. I want to "echo" the array so it displays "Screwdriver Hammer Nail Screw" randomly on my page. But instead it just echo's "Array" Does anyone know where I am going wrong??? the url for the file is www.buildyourowncomputer.info/test.php

<?php
$products = array ( "Screwdriver", "Hammer", "Nail", "Screw", );

shuffle($products);

echo $products;
?>

Many Thanks

foreach ($array as $value){
  print "$value";
};

I have now changed my code but it is still doing the same thing. I changed the code to this. Is this right??

<?php

$products = array ( "Screwdriver", "Hammer", "Nail", "Screw", );

shuffle($products);
{
print "$products";
};
?>

Did you read stevesweetland's post? What did it say? Seems pretty easy to understand to me.

Yes, I do know what's wrong with your code. I also know that the solution has already been given. I also know that for all the attention you've been paying, stevesweetland might as well have been talking to a brick wall.

I do understand what he is saying, but I am only a beginner at PHP, and have no idea which code to add/edit. This is why I have posted here. I understand that you dont use the command print array, you have to print an item/value within the array, but I don't know how to do this. Please only post of you wish to help.

<?php
//declare the array of products
$products = array("Screwdriver", "Hammer", "Nail", "Screw");

//re-arrange order of products by pseudo-random algorithm
shuffle($products);

//loop through the array
foreach ($products as $product) {
	//print the current array element followed by a space
	echo $product . ' ';
}
?>

Thanks for the reply, I have changed my .php file and uploaded it to www.buildyourowncomputer.info/test.php but when I browse to it, it just displays "Array Array Array Array" and not anything in the array. Any ideas??

Thanks
