foreach and multidimensional arrays

[ubccis]

Hi.

Does for each for on multidimensional arrays? For example, if one
element of $in is $course_list and I want to echo all everything in
course_list

foreach operates on arrays, and only to one level; if the array contains
arrays, foreach doesn't care - the loop index will just be set to an array that
is that dimension of the array.

You could use is_array() if you want to tell if you've hit another dimension
of the array.

No. You'd need to test the values in the array to see if they were also
arrays and do something with that eg

foreach($foo as $index => $value) {
if(is_array($value)) {
... do something ...
}
}

Hi....

I found the answer...of using nested arrays...
foreach ($in as $key) {
if(is_array($key)){
foreach ($key as $key2 => $value) {

echo "Key: $key; Value: $value<br />\n";

}
} else {

echo "Key: $key; Value: $value<br />\n";

}

}

What about n dimensional arrays?

I'm thinking perhaps a recursive function?

yes.

yes.

But I'd usually use print_r() if I just wanted to take a peek.
