Looping with multiple arrays

AtomicCounty

Hello,

I've only been working with PHP a while and searched online for the answer to this question but couldn't really find a good answer.

I've got several arrays and want to loop through them both at the same time.

For example take the arrays stored as $name and $price:

if ($price[0]>5)
 $decision = "too much";
else
 $decision = "affordable";

echo $name[0]." costs ".$price[0].". This is ".$decision;

if ($price[1]>5)
 $decision = "too much";
else
 $decision = "affordable";

echo $name[1]." costs ".$price[1].". This is ".$decision;

...and so on...

My project is more complicated than this but that is just to illustrate.

Is there anyway i can just create a loop and have the array selection increse by one every time?

Thanks

for($i=0; $i<count($price); $i++){

if ($price[$i]>5)
$decision = "too much";
else
$decision = "affordable";

echo $name[$i]." costs ".$price[$i].". This is ".$decision;

}

Another thing we can do with arrays
is to merge them into one array

I dont think this will help you with this issue you are asking about.
But can be useful to know about when the day comes.

Either one can use the standard function [man]array_merge/man

$new_array = array_merge($array1, $array2);

But even more simple way to put together 2 arrays into one
is this, I have used a couple of times.
It actually works :rolleyes:

$new_array = $array1 + $array2;
