Hi,

I'm not sure what is wrong with your code. This leads me to what is wrong with your post:

1. No clear indication of the problem - what is it doing , what is it not doing, what was expected.
2. Please post code in code tags

That said, I think the following code will do what you are after.

<?php
$data=array() ;
$data['00000'] = "asuka" ;
$data['00001'] = "ntt" ;
$data['00002'] = "docomo" ;

for($i=0; $i<count($data);$i++)
{	
	$lcKey = str_pad($i, 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) ;
	echo $lcKey . " " . $data[$lcKey] . "<br />";
}
?>

If that's not what you want then please post again using code tags and giving a clearer outline of what the code needs to do and how it appears to be failing.

Cheers

Tomoko,

For the benefit of our experts and yourself, it is a posting guidelines that all users use [code] tags when posting code. This makes the code easier to read and, in turn, helps our experts answer your questions.

An easy way to do this is to highlight the code in the textarea and then hit the '#' button at the top of the textarea.

Please read the Post Guidelines so you're more familiar with how things work.

Pbmods would have your head for this!

You should do your count($var) before the loop because, when it's inside the loop, count() is called with each iteration.

But that's off-topic..

Carry on!

I completely agree, but I knocked it up in 2 minutes just as lunch was being served and didn't make all the changes I wanted.

I wasn't doubting you. My reply was more for OPs sake, than to correct you.

Multi-dimensional array

Hey, tomoko

Two things wrong.

1. Defined a string in your array without quotes.

2. Trying to output an array instead of the values.

PS. if your want to keep the prefixed 0's then they need to be strings to.



Try this code below

$data[] = array('id' => "00001",'name'=>"asuka");
$data[] = array('id' => "00002",'name' =>"ntt");
$data[] = array('id' => "00003",'name' =>"docomo");
 
foreach($data as $elem) // NOTE: $elem is also an array
 {    
    // now echo the bits of the $elem(ment)
    echo $elem['id']."   ".$elem['name']."<br>"; 
 }

// hope this sets you on track

the above is good to know esp. when connecting MySQL and using the mysql_fetch_ass oc function.
