[Resolved] array parsing syntax

[chucklarge]

Hi,
I am having trouble getting my syntax correct. Any help would be very much appreciated. Basically i have 2 arrays. The first array is stuctured like this

$categoryarray -- Array
(
    [1960's] => Array
        (
            [id] => 11
            [value] => 0
        )

[1980's] => Array
    (
        [id] => 12
        [value] => 0
    )

[Artists] => Array
    (
        [id] => 1
        [value] => 0
    )

[Bands] => Array
    (
        [id] => 2
        [value] => 0
    )

[Clothing Designers] => Array
    (
        [id] => 4
        [value] => 0
    )

[Computers] => Array
    (
        [id] => 3
        [value] => 0
    )

[Furniture Designers] => Array
    (
        [id] => 5
        [value] => 0
    )

[Movies] => Array
    (
        [id] => 6
        [value] => 0
    )

[Musical Intruments] => Array
    (
        [id] => 7
        [value] => 0
    )

[People] => Array
    (
        [id] => 8
        [value] => 0
    )

[Science] => Array
    (
        [id] => 9
        [value] => 0
    )

[Swatch Watch] => Array
    (
        [id] => 13
        [value] => 0
    )

[TV Shows] => Array
    (
        [id] => 10
        [value] => 0
    )

)

The second array comes from the checkboxes in an html form.(this is just an example of sample input)

$formarray -- Array
(
    [0] => 1980's
    [1] => Bands
    [2] => Computers
    [3] => Movies
    [4] => People
    [5] => Swatch Watch
)

So what i am trying to do is change the 'value' in the first array from 0 to 1 if the category appears in the second array. I hope that makes sense. anyway, i have this which is not correct.

foreach($categoryarray as $array1 => $value1)
{	foreach($formarray as $array2 => $value2)
	{	if($array1 == $value2)  $categoryarray [$value2] = 1;             

	}
}

it gives an output of this, so how can i push that 1 down to the 'value' field?

$categoryarray -- Array
(
    [1960's] => Array
        (
            [id] => 11
            [value] => 0
        )

[1980's] => 1
[Artists] => Array
    (
        [id] => 1
        [value] => 0
    )

[Bands] => 1
[Clothing Designers] => Array
    (
        [id] => 4
        [value] => 0
    )

[Computers] => 1
[Furniture Designers] => Array
    (
        [id] => 5
        [value] => 0
    )

[Movies] => 1
[Musical Intruments] => Array
    (
        [id] => 7
        [value] => 0
    )

[People] => 1
[Science] => Array
    (
        [id] => 9
        [value] => 0
    )

[Swatch Watch] => 1
[TV Shows] => Array
    (
        [id] => 10
        [value] => 0
    )

)

instead of...

foreach($categoryarray as $array1 => $value1) 
{    foreach($formarray as $array2 => $value2) 
    {    if($array1 == $value2)  $categoryarray [$value2] = 1;              

    } 
}

try this

foreach($categoryarray as $array1 => $value1) 
{    foreach($formarray as $array2 => $value2) 
    {    if($array1 == $value2)  $categoryarray[$value2]['value'] = 1; //note that now we are pointing to $cat...array["1980's"]['value'] instead of just ["1980's"]
    } 
}

Oh Right!! Thanks Tekky. I appreciate it.
