raw arrays into variables, help!?!?

tempa

Heres whats displayied when i run my script

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => TEXT
[instances] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[contents] => hello
)

 [1] => Array
  (
   [contents] => goodbye
  )

What would i need to do to convert this code to something like:

TEXT0="hello"
TEXT1="goodbye"

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

foreach ($array as $value)
{
    foreach ($value['instantces'] as $subkey => $subval)
    {
        eval('$'.$value['name'].$subkey.' = "'.$subval['contents'].'";');
    }
}

this goes through the top level of the array, then goes through each of those arrays' instances array. it appends the key to the name, and then adds the contents of that instance.

any questions, ask 🙂

That bit of code makes perfect sense to me.

I'm not too hot on PHP, i'm not sure where to insert the code. You said the top level of the array and in each array's instances array.

But i'm not sure what this means, i've got a vague idea, could you possibly tell me what to look out for? Or maybe dumb it down so i know where to place the code, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the help so far it's been great!
