Nested Loops

[theknight]

How do you do nested loops for example to do the following:

Array 1 (contains list of items)

Array ( [0] => Array ( [Id] => 1 [Name] => Chocolate) [1] => Array ( [Id] => 2 [Name] => Milk ) [2] => Array ( [Id] => 3 [Name] => Strawberries ) [3] => Array ( [Id] => 4 [Name] => Yogurt ) )

Array 2 (cross reference)

Array ( [0] => Array ( [Id] => 9 [Name] => Chocolate [Eaten] => 0) 
Array ( [1] => Array ( [Id] => 9 [Name] => Chocolate [Eaten] => False) 

first it goes inside array one, and prints a list out:

Chocolate
Milk
Strawberries
Yogurt

The above list is then cross referenced to the second array to see if the item that item in list 1's eaten is False in the [Eaten] Row.

If it is an output is displayed e.g. echo "There are no more chocolates left"

So for I have done 2 foreach loops

<?php   

                //print out all the items

           //out put the list of food
           foreach($food['listFood'] as $name){
            //before creating icon, perform if statement with second array
            $currentName = "";
                foreach($food as $row){
                 if($currentName != $name['Name']){
            $currentName = $name['Name'];
            ?>
            <span class='type'><?php echo $name['Name'];?></span><br />
                <?php
            $count = 0;
             if($row['Name']==$name['Name'] && $row['Eaten']==null){
        ?>

echo "Food has not been eaten"<br />
            <?php 
            }else {
            ?>
                echo "Food has been eaten, there is no more left"<br />
    <?php
   }
  }
 }
}

I think you should re-post the example array for this one; what you gave is incomprehensible.

Actually, it would be best if your example code included the example arrays as a kind of input, e.g.,

$food = array(
    array('id' => 1, 'Name' => 'Chocolate'),
    array('id' => 2, 'Name' => 'Milk'),
    array('id' => 3, 'Name' => 'Strawberries'),
    array('id' => 4, 'Name' => 'Yogurt')
);

Then your code actually made use of $food. Furthermore, post your expected output and actual output.
