rahish Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 This should be easy for someone. I am trying to populate a simple html list menu with urls and link text using an array and a for loop. I cannot work out what I am doing wrong but I know I am only guessing, I have got my for loops mixed up and it is duplicating the output. Here is the example <?php $menu_link = array (0 =>'index.php', 'info.php', 'contact.php'); $menu_text = array (0 =>'Home', 'Information', 'Contact'); ?> <h3> Menu Example</h3> <?php print_r($menu_link); print_r($menu_text); ?> <?php echo "<ul>"; for ($text=0; $text < sizeof($menu_text); $text++) { for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($menu_link); $i++) { echo "<li><a href='", $menu_link[$i], "'>$menu_text[$text] "; //$i, //echo " ",$menu_text[$text], "</li>"; } } echo "</a></li>"; echo "</ul>"; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesideez Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Just thought - probably a better way is this: $arrLinks=array('index' => 'Home Page', 'info' => 'Information', 'contact' => 'Contact'); foreach ($arrLinks as $key => $val) { echo '<a href="'.$key.'.php">'.$val.'</a>'; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
