[Resolved] multidismensional array outputs

[vaaaska]

This is something I'm curious about...

I have some arrays that contain my navigation stuff and I want to output it in three places based upon different criteria...

What I'm not sure about (although I bet the answer is 'no'), is there a way to check the conditions at the actual foreach command?

// not sure if it's possible...check conditions here?  and how?
foreach ($array as $key => $val) {
  do my stuff (if the conditions were met);
}

as opposed to...

foreach ($array as $key => $val) {
if (($nav[2] == 1) && ($subnav[3] == '1')) {
  do my stuff (if the conditions were met);
}
}

??? Perhaps I'm being a little too picky on this particular subject? I'm ultimately trying to reduce something that is being done with three separate queries into one...I hope this makes sense...

you can't check conditions in a foreach statement.
The second one is ok and don't look further. waist of time 😉

That second chunk of code with the if statement nested in the foreach would still only necessitate one db query, wouldn't it? if you only want to run the foreach once, put several if conditionals in the loop and create individual arrays to be used later when you are actually echoing the nav menus.

I completely misunderstood your problem! 😃

Nope, you understood. My example was actually bad.

Thanks for the input you guys...I just screwed my head on properly on this subject and off I go building widgets.
