What would you need to print instead?

That's because $v1 is an Array. If you want to see all the contents of it
try print_r($v1);

You can't echo out an entire array. You just said it yourself that you
realize that $v1 is an array.

You can only use the indexed elements.

You are doing it correctly, above, if you want to iterate through all
items in the second-level array. But if you want to use a specific
element of the second-level array, use their index. For example:

<?php
$a = array(
array( "red", "green", "blue")
,array( "apple", "banana", "cherry")
);
?>

Using your above code, to get the second element in the second-dimension
arrays, you would use $v1[1], e.g.:

<?php
foreach ($a as $v1) {
echo $v1[1] . " \n";
}
?>

That would echo:

green 
banana 

Got it? Did I answer your question? I hope so.

Later...

Re: quick question

Hi,

That's not exactly what I'm looking for (probably shouldn't have been so
vague :( ). Here' my array that I've got:

array(2) { [19]=> array(1) { ["blue"]=> array(1) { [0]=> int(2) } } [20]=>
array(1) { ["green"]=> array(1) { [0]=> int(1) } } }

and the code:

$items=0
if(is_array($ca rt)) { //check cart is an array
foreach ($cart as $productid) { //loop through products
foreach ($productid as $colour) { //loop through colours
foreach ($colour as $option =>$qty) { //loop through options
$items += $qty; //add qtry to total
}
}
}
}

I'm using an indexed array (fr example the first product id is 19 and the
first (and only) colour for that id is 'blue' which then refrences to
another array with the options in.

What I'm after is the name of the index, ie the '19' and the 'blue'

I hope that's a little clearer :)

Thanks
Alex

I'm still not completely clear, but the code in your post is not formatted
well in my newsreader. Also, it doesn't appear to be correct PHP code.
Try posting the exact code from your script, not from print_r().

Anyways, I think you need to use the "foreach ($array as $key=>$value)"
syntax:

<?php
$a = array("19"=>"bl ue", "20"=>"red" );

foreach ($a as $k => $v){
echo "KEY is $k\n";
echo "VAL is $v\n";
}
?>

This would set $k to 19 and $v to "blue" for the first item and "20" and
"red" for the second.

Re: quick question

Thanks. That's got it sorted now :D, I had tried that before but had the key
and the val round the wrong way.

Write a small function to recursively descend through the array, eg:

function show_array ( $s, $a )
{
echo '<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2 border="1" >
<tr><td>======& nbsp;' . $s . ' ====== </td></tr>' ;
if ( ! is_array($a) )
{ echo ' Cannot show: not an array! ' ; return ; }
foreach ( $a as $k => $v )
{
echo '<tr>' ;
if ( is_array( $v ) )
{
show_array( $k, $v ) ;
}
else
echo '<td>' . $k . '</td><td>' . $v . '</td>' ;
echo '</tr>' ;
}
}

HTH,
Margaret
