Forech question (Sorry if duplicate)

[Lorenzo Thurman]

I'm passing an array which contains 2 arrays as subarrays to a function
that uses foreach to iterate through each sub-array. Each subarray has
exactly 7 items.
function listitems($anArray){

// $anArray is 2-dim array
foreach($anArray as $item=>$arr){
var_dump($arr);

}

array(2) {
[0]=>
array(1) {
["X"]=>
string(4) "this"
}
[1]=>
array(1){
["y"]=>
string(3) "xyz"
}
Instead the items show up as scalars. Like this:
string[5]='string'
string[3]='xyz'

In short, I would expect the foreach to create an array containing 1
item from subarray[0] and subarray[1] and display it as such. So clearly
I don't understand something, but how do I reference each item?

I think you may be doing something wrong. It works for me. Or maybe I
don't understand your question. Here's what I tested:
<?php
$t = array(
array( 'a1', 'b1' ),
array( 'a2', 'b2' )
);

foreach( $t as $i =$v )
var_dump( $v );
?>

And here's what I get:
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(2) "a1"
[1]=>
string(2) "b1"
}
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(2) "a2"
[1]=>
string(2) "b2"
}

Is this test similar to yours?

Your setup is the same, but the result is different. Its what I would
expect. I just get those unreferenced scalars.

Verify that the array you are passing to your function is like mine.
