Is that a PHP array or will you be having to read the data from a text file?

[erayfield]

that looks like a var_dump - if so you will need to loop through the array. It is a multi-level array, so something like this:

/**
* loops through array/multi-dimensional arrays
*@param array array to loop through
*@return string in key value pairs, or null
*@see [url]http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=2&cid=7CD16[/url]
**/
function loopThroughArray($passedArray) 
{  
     $retVal = '';
     //validate is array
     if (!is_array($passedArray) { return null; }
     //loop through array
      foreach ($passedArrayas $key => $value ) 
      {  
         if (!is_array($value)) 
         {  
                 // if it isn't an array show $key and $value  
                 $retVal .= ' <br />' . $key; 
                 $retVal .= '  ->  ' . $value; 
         }
          else 
          { 
                // if it is an array set up the key 
               $retVal .= '<hr color="red">‘ . $key.’</strong>‘;  
                //then process $value again will same function. 
                 foreach_loop($value);  
         }  
    }
     return $retVal;
 }

Hi

this comes in as a string, more like a webservice. I am not sure how to explain it. I hop this helps?

[sathumenon]

I got some idea from this. Thanks a lot Erayfield!
I think I will give a try using this and the link You have mentioned.

The data you posted is in the same format as provided by the web service? If so I'd tell the web service provider that they need to seriously reconsider.
