Tricky array question

[jamesgoode]

Hi,

I've got a complicated problem to solve. Say I have an indexed array
$array, with contents as follows:

'name' ='James'
'favefood' ='Spagbol'
'os' ='Debian GNU/Linux'

And say I want to create a list, that prints the name of each item,
and then its contents, like this:

name: James
favefood: Spagbol
os: Debian GNU/Linux

The only problem, I don't what the items in the array are called, so I
can't do this:

os: <?=$array['os']?>

Any ideas? It's got me stumped.

Thanks in advance,

--James Goode.

[Good Man]

Thanks in advance,

foreach($array as $key=>$value) {
echo "$key: $value <br>";
}

Also, as mentioned elsewhere, future-proof your code and lose the short
tags... no more <?= $myVar ?>, and only <?php echo $myVar; ?>

Hi Good Man,

Thanks for your fast response, now I can continue with my project :-).

I often do this:

while (list($key, $val) = each($array)) {
echo "os: $key ";
}
If I have an array just input by a form, and I need to addslashes
before sending it to a database, this is quite useful:

while (list($key, $val) = each($formInputs)) {
$formInputs[$key] = addslashes($val);
}
