[SOLVED] Arrays in foreach

Recommended Posts

I have a staff page that has all the information contained in arrays.  It also contains a short bio about each person answering questions, this data is in an array too.  When I go to echo this data, it echos this in the actual page: $Smith['0'].  This is what I actually wanted to echo, you can see below how this is generated.  It assigns the correct name to the person, so that isn't the problem.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

$last_names=array('Smith', 'Jones', 'Anderson');
$Smith=array('Answer 1', 'Answer 2', 'Answer 3');

foreach($lastname as $staffmember){

echo "Question 1: $$lastname[$i]['0'] <br>
Question 2: $$lastname[$i]['1']
}

The variables aren't consistent in your example, but here is a possible solution to what you are trying to do:

 

$lastname = array('Smith', 'Jones', 'Anderson');
$Smith = array('Answer 1', 'Answer 2', 'Answer 3');

foreach($lastname as $staffmember) {

    $sm = $$staffmember;

    echo "Question 1: " . $sm['0'] . "<br>
            Question 2: " . $sm['1'];
}
