2D arrays, looping and displaying <TD>'s

[Sturnoff Megantic]

This seems like such a stupid little problem, but it's been bugging me
for hours now. I have a 2D array called agents2d. I need to loop
through it and display the info. Here is my code:

echo "<TABLE BORDER=\"1\" ALIGN=\"center\ ">\n";
echo "<TR><TD COLSPAN=\"4\"
ALIGN=\"center\ ">$queue_name_l ine</TD></TR>\n";
echo "<TR><TD COLSPAN=\"4\"> &nbsp; </TD></TR>\n";
echo "<TR><TH>Ag ent #</TH><TH>Status</TH><TH>Calls Taken</TH><TH>Secs
since last call</TH></TR>\n";

foreach($agents 2d as $value){
echo
"<TR><TD>$v alue[0]</TD><TD>$value[1]</TD><TD>$value[2]</TD><TD>$value[3]</TD></TR>";
}
echo "</TABLE>";


When I display this code, the lines in the loop come out staggered ..
kinda like this:
1345
statusA
45
445
1346
statusB
56
778
etc...

I also tried this:

echo "<TABLE BORDER=\"1\" ALIGN=\"center\ ">\n";
echo "<TR><TD COLSPAN=\"4\"
ALIGN=\"center\ ">$queue_name_l ine</TD></TR>\n";
echo "<TR><TD COLSPAN=\"4\"> &nbsp; </TD></TR>\n";
echo "<TR><TH>Ag ent #</TH><TH>Status</TH><TH>Calls Taken</TH><TH>Secs
since last call</TH></TR>\n";

foreach($agents 2d as $value1){
echo "<TR>";
foreach($value1 as $value2){
echo "<TD>$value 2</TD>";
}
echo "</TR>\n";
}
echo "</TABLE>\n";


.... but all the info showed up in the first column only.

1345
statusA
45
455
1346
statusB
35
667

This seems like such a stupid thing. Almost like I'm missing something
in the HTML. But, maybe I just don't quite understand looping over a
2d array.

What am I doing wrong?

I noticed that Message-ID:
<1110505403.464 975.18080@f14g2 000cwb.googlegr oups.com> from Sturnoff
Megantic contained the following:
[color=blue]
>foreach($agent s2d as $value){
>echo
>"<TR><TD>$valu e[0]</TD><TD>$value[1]</TD><TD>$value[2]</TD><TD>$value[3]</TD></TR>";
>}
>echo "</TABLE>";[/color]

Well the html works so the answer is your loop. Or lack of a loop. I'm
guessing a bit because I've never done one of these but I think you'll
have to do a nested loop here, something like:

foreach($agents 2d as $value){
//start table row
foreach($value as$val){
//start table data
$val
// end table data
}
//end table row
}

How about getting a helping hand from PEAR:

$t = new HTML_Table();
$header = array("Agent",
"Status",
"Calls Taken",
"Secs since last call");
$t->addRow($header ,null,"th");
foreach ($agents2d as $row) {
$t->addRow($row) ;
}
echo $t->toHtml();

And save yourself many sleepless hours when you decide to add one column
or change their order or something else.
