[Resolved] Variables in arrays

lemin

Hello this is my first post here. I am sure that I will visitoften though.

This is probably very trivial but I need help with it.

I have an array like this:

$array = array('data'=>$data, 'data2'=>$data2);

where $data and $data2 are also arrays.

I know that if I use:

echo "<pre>;
print_r($data);
print_r($data2);

it will print out the array, but how do I print it out beautified?
Whatever I try to do it just echos "Array".

I would really appreciate some help with this.

Thank you

If you print_r($array), it will print out all the dimensions (which includes your second-dimension variable arrays).

So if you have: $array=array(array(1,2,3),array('apples','oranges','pear'));

Then print_r($array) should show you two arrays (one of numbers, one of fruit).

Thanks for the quick reply. 🙂
That I know, but it still pronts it out in the form of an array, and I would like to have it as a table for example.
This is what I don't know how to do. I know that I should loop through the array with something like foreach, but it will still echo only "Array" and nothing else.

I think that I got it. Sometimes it helps to ask a question. Then you think clearer. Thank you.
I did it this way.

foreach ($data['1'] as $k => $v) {
   echo "$k = $v.\n";
}

and it worked. 🙂
I don't know what I was doing wrong before, but I'm sure that I tried it numerous times.
