Arrays in arrays, in loops (WoW Boss Progression script)

[Dekthro]

For learning purposes, I'm trying to write a script for World of Warcraft, which will show boss progression. This is my first script and so far so good. Originally, I have it set up so that there is a piece of code for each zone (or, dungeon), and now I'm attempting to condense it using only one chunk of code. Here is what I have.

<?
//Defining bosses and their status
#--------------------------------------------------#
// 1 = Dead 0 = Alive

$argent = array (
			 array ('Gormok', '0,'),
			 array ('Achidmaw', '0'),
			 array ('Dreadscale', '0'),
			 array ('Icehowl', '0'),
			 array ('Lord Jaraxxus', '0'),
			 array ('Edyis Darkbane', '0'),
			 array ('Fjola Lightbane', '0'),
			 array ('Final Boss', '0')
			 );
$ulduar = array(
			array ('Flame Leviathan', '1'),
			array ('Razorscale', '1'),
			array ('Ignus', '1'),
			array ('XT-002', '1'),
			array ('Iron Council', '1'),
			array ('Kologarn', '1'),
			array ('Auraiya', '1'),
			array ('Hodir', '0'),
			array ('Thorim', '0'),
			array ('Freya', '1'),
			array ('Mimiron', '0'),
			array ('General Verax', '0'),
			array ('Yogg-Saron', '0'),
			array ('Algalon', '0'),
			);
$eye = array(
		 	array ('Malygos', '1')
			);
$obsidian = array(
			  array ('Sartharion', '1')
			  );
$naxxramas = array(
			   array ('Anub\'Rekhan', '1'),
			   array ('Faerlina', '1'),
			   array ('Maexxna', '1'),
			   array ('Noth', '1'),
			   array ('Heigan', '1'),
			   array ('Loatheb', '1'),
			   array ('Razuvious', '1'),
			   array ('Gothik', '1'),
			   array ('Four Horsemen', '1'),
			   array ('Patchwerk', '1'),
			   array ('Grobbulus', '1'),
			   array ('Gluth', '1'),
			   array ('Thaddius', '1'),
			   array ('Sapphiron', '1'),
			   array ('Kel\'Thuzad', '1')
			   );
$vault = array(
			   array ('Archavon', '1'),
			   array ('Emalon', '1'),
			   array ('Koralon', '0')
			   
			);				   

/////////////////////////////
// End user configuration! //
/////////////////////////////
$zonevar = array ('argent', 'ulduar', 'eye', 'obsidian', 'naxxramas', 'vault');
$zonename =  array (
			 'argent' => 'Argent Coliseum',
			 'ulduar' => 'Ulduar',
			 'eye' => 'Eye of Eternity',
			 'obsidian' => 'Obsidian Sanctum',
			 'naxxramas' => 'Naxxramas',
			 'vault' => 'Vault of Archavon'
			 );
//How many zones exist
$total_zones = count($zonevar);


//Display it all, with one piece of code?
for ($i=0; $i < $total_zones; $i++){
echo $zonename[$zonevar[$i]].'<br>';

	for ($ii=0; $ii < count($$zonevar[$i]); $ii++){
		$z = $zonevar[$i];
		echo $$z[$ii]['0'];
	}
echo '<br>';
}
?>

 

But instead I'm receiving

Argent Coliseum

 

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in progressionchart.php on line 120

 

Line 120 being (I have snipped some unrelated code):

			echo $$z[$ii]['0'];

 

End results that I'm looking to achieve should be something like....

 

Zone

Boss 1

Boss 2

Boss 3

...

 

Zone 2

Boss 1

Boss 2

Boss 3

...

 

And so on...

like so?

I wish i'd have gone above and beyond :'(

 

Nice work

[Andy-H]

lol ty

P.S I Just edited your code. shhh lol

[Dekthro]

Thanks a lot guys. Much less complicated then what I was trying to do. Is there a better way to display the zone names and call the data from the zone arrays? This was the best way to do it, to my knowledge.
