[RESOLVED] Grouping Array Output??

gibby7

Here are my two arrays. Array cart has a reference to array ship. (BTW the data is not coming from a database)

$z[ship][0] = array("name" => 'Billy',"addy" => '123 this street');
$z[ship][1] = array("name" => 'Bob',"addy" => '123 that street');
$z[ship][2] = array("name" => 'Joe', "addy" => '123 USA street');
$z[ship][3] = array("name" => 'John',"addy" => '123 Reo street');
$z[ship][999] = array("name" => 'Sally',"addy" => '321 Your street');


$z[cart][] = array("pid" => '10',"name" => 'apples',"ship" => '1');
$z[cart][] = array("pid" => '20',"name" => 'oranges',"ship" => '3');
$z[cart][] = array("pid" => '50',"name" => 'Ruger', "ship" => '0');
$z[cart][] = array("pid" => '30',"name" => 'Cherry',"ship" => '1');
$z[cart][] = array("pid" => '40',"name" => 'Fudge',"ship" => '3');

I need to walk array $z[ship] grabbing the key and then echo values from the arrays where and if the value of $z[cart][][ship] matches the key from $z[ship][] in each loop. I need my output to look something like this..

pid = 50 name = ruger ship = Billy

pid =10 name = apples ship = Bob
pid = 30 name = Cherry ship = Bob

pid = 20 name = oranges ship = John
pid = 40 name = Fudge ship = John

Another way of saying this is that im grouping by key $z[cart][][ship] then outputting


echo 'pid = ' .$z[cart][][pid]. ' name = ' .$z[cart][][name]. ' ship = ' .$z[ship]['$v'][name]. '\n';

So far I've tried different ways of using sort and foreach but still cant make it go right.

Thanks

$z['ship'][0] = array('name' => 'Billy', 'addy' => '123 this street');
$z['ship'][1] = array('name' => 'Bob', 'addy' => '123 that street');
$z['ship'][2] = array('name' => 'Joe', 'addy' => '123 USA street');
$z['ship'][3] = array('name' => 'John', 'addy' => '123 Reo street');
$z['ship'][999] = array('name' => 'Sally', 'addy' => '321 Your street');


$z['cart'][] = array('pid' => '10', 'name' => 'apples', 'ship' => '1');
$z['cart'][] = array('pid' => '20', 'name' => 'oranges', 'ship' => '3');
$z['cart'][] = array('pid' => '50', 'name' => 'Ruger', 'ship' => '0');
$z['cart'][] = array('pid' => '30', 'name' => 'Cherry', 'ship' => '1');
$z['cart'][] = array('pid' => '40', 'name' => 'Fudge', 'ship' => '3');

foreach ($z['cart'] as $value)
{
	echo 'pid = ' . $value['pid'] . ' | name = ' . $value['name'] . ' | ship = ' . $z['ship'][$value['ship']]['name'] . '<br>';
}

Thanks!!
That wasn't exactly what I was wanting but you planted the right seed and I figured it out.

This is what did it

$z['ship'][0] = array('name' => 'Billy', 'addy' => '123 this street');
$z['ship'][1] = array('name' => 'Bob', 'addy' => '123 that street');
$z['ship'][2] = array('name' => 'Joe', 'addy' => '123 USA street');
$z['ship'][3] = array('name' => 'John', 'addy' => '123 Reo street');
$z['ship'][999] = array('name' => 'Sally', 'addy' => '321 Your street');


$z['cart'][] = array('pid' => '10', 'name' => 'apples', 'ship' => '1');
$z['cart'][] = array('pid' => '20', 'name' => 'oranges', 'ship' => '3');
$z['cart'][] = array('pid' => '50', 'name' => 'Ruger', 'ship' => '0');
$z['cart'][] = array('pid' => '30', 'name' => 'Cherry', 'ship' => '1');
$z['cart'][] = array('pid' => '40', 'name' => 'Fudge', 'ship' => '3');

foreach ($z['ship'] as $key => $value) {

   foreach ($z['cart'] as $k => $cid)
   {
   if ($z[cart][$k][ship] == $key) 
      {
      echo 'pid = ' . $cid['pid'] . ' | name = ' . $cid['name'] . ' | ship = ' . $z['ship'][$cid['ship']]['name'] . '<br>';
      }
   } 
}

Thanks Again
