Extracting key & its value form nested array

[zzman]

I have a huge nested array. How do i extract the key and its corresponding value from it.

FYI: the array was generated using xml_parse_into_struct, but I am not reading the entire XML file at once, only one tag.

Edit: I think I'm miss understanding the question. Are you trying to view the keys and values from the array OR extract them for use in your script?

What about var_dump() function to dump the array?

<? print var_dump($var); ?>

That will print all the info about your array. Hope this helps..

var_dump() ????
its just going to dump the entire array I want to get a certain value and its key. some thing like a function that I can pass a "key" and it returns its value. and if there are multiple keys with the same name it returns the value of both of them. Thanks though...

Try array_walk_recursive() function. If it's not exectly what you need, try to modify functions posted in user notes.

my version of php is 4.3.11, i dont think array_walk_recursive() is defined.

You can use array_walk_recursive2() posted by egingell at sisna dot com on http://pl.php.net/manual/en/function.array-walk-recursive.php
