Code not showing what I need it to show

[FAF101]

Hello,

I have this project for one of my classes and I need this code to basically show me the chinese zodiac animal names that can be made from "Your Chinese zodiac sign tells a lot about your personality.", "Embed PHP scripts within an XHTML document."

I only have the one part working: Embed PHP scripts within an XHTML document.

For some reason I'm not really catching what is not making the Your Chinese zodiac sign tells a lot about your personality phrase. Here's the code, I'm tweeking it a little bit, and I believe I have everything typed correctly, but I'm just not catching it. Any help would be much appreciated 😃

$Phrases = array("Your Chinese zodiac sign tells a lot about your personality.", "Embed PHP scripts within an XHTML document.");
	$SignNames = array("Rat", "Ox", "Tiger", "Rabbit", "Dragon", "Snake", "Horse", "Ram", "Monkey", "Rooster", "Dog", "Pig");
		function BuildLetterCounts($text)
		{
			$text = strtoupper($text);
			$letter_counts = count_chars($text);
			return $letter_counts;
		}
			function AContainsB($A, $B)
			{
				$retval = TRUE;
				$first_letter_index = ord('A');
				$last_letter_index = ord('Z');
				for($letter_index = $first_letter_index; $letter_index <= $last_letter_index; ++$letter_index)
				{
					if ($A[$letter_index] < $B[$letter_index])
					{
						$retval = FALSE;
					}
				}
				return $retval;
			}
					foreach ($Phrases as $Phrase)
					{
						$PhraseArray = BuildLetterCounts($Phrase);
						$GoodWords = array();
						$BadWords = array();
					}
						foreach ($SignNames as $Word)
						{
							$WordArray = BuildLetterCounts($Word);
							if (AContainsB($PhraseArray, $WordArray))
								$GoodWords[] = $Word;
							else
								$BadWords[] = $Word;
						}
	echo "<p>The following words can be made from the letters in the phrase  &quot;$Phrase&quot; :";
		foreach($GoodWords as $Word)
			echo " $Word";
			echo "</p>\n";
			echo "<p>The following words cannot be made from the letters in the phrase  &quot;$Phrase&quot; :";
		foreach($BadWords as $Word)
			echo " $Word";
			echo "</p>\n";
			echo "<hr />\n";

When you run a foreach() on an array, you do iterate through the items in the array. However, any data operations you do on such an array must either be stored in an array itself, or in unique variables. What is happening in your script is that $Phrase, $GoodWords, $BadWords, etc., are being overwritten during the second iteration of the loop.

So, more looping structures, or make the data "holders" arrays instead of plain variables. Or, and perhaps easiest, do the processing and the output in the same step, then process and output again for the next iteration.
