[SOLVED] foreach question

[kevin7]

I'm suck at foreach with multidimension array,

 

I have this array structure:

 

$item = array(
            'chicken' => array('description' => 'a chick', 'quantity' => '5kg'),
            'tomatoes' => array('description' => 'a tomato', 'quantity' => '0.5kg')
            );

 

and I will the output looks like this, it list out the item name only in a ul list

 

- chicken

- tomatoes

 

this is the code i was using, it display "array"

 

foreach  ($item as $value => $key) {
   echo '<li><a href="#">' . $item[$value] . '</a></li>';								
}								}

 

hmm, what went wrong?

 

Thanks heaps

Try this:

 

foreach($item as $key => $val)
{
     echo '<li><a href="#">' . $key . '</a></li>';
}

 

You're misunderstanding the functionality of the foreach. I suggest checking out the manual
