Hey guys, I am working for the first time without a database and MySQL while using PHP. anyway i am working on a real estate page and i am having issues on the "areas we cover", and this section would allow a user to view the neighborhoods or locations that the real estate agent has listings or does showings. i created a multidimensional array with the data i need. <?php $cities = array('pasadena' => array( "name" => "Pasadena", "picture" => "pasadena.png", "link" => "https://maps.google.com/maps?q=pasadena+ca&ie=UTF-8&ei=21uRUqGUKY3VoATvsILwDA&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg", "value" => "1", "details" => "This is where the details will go", 'data' => '<div id="tGraphs" style="border: 1px solid #ccc;

I then decided that the idea of a long list of cities was not very user friendly and i decided to make is a dynamic page with a different structure. i wanted the user to go on area_showings.php and there he would select a link of his city interested in, and the page would then load the data based upon what the user had selected. <?php foreach ($cities as $city => $data){ echo <a href="area_showings.php?city=' . $data['name'] .'">'. $data['name'] .

This works fine and is passed correctly with the $_GET.
