[SOLVED] Print value from array

[tgavin]

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print the value from the $list array. $list[$i] isn't cuttin it.

$list = array(
'Car'	=> 'Car',
'Boat'	=> 'Boat'
);

$columns = 2;
$list_count = count($list);

$return .= "<table>";

for($i=0; $i < $list_count; $i++) {
if($i % $columns == 0) {
	$return .= "<tr>";
}
$return .= "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"mg[]\" value=\"".$list[$i]."\" class=\"checkbox\" /> ".$list[$i]."</td>";
if(($i % $columns) == ($columns-1) || ($i+1) == $list_count) {
	$return .= "</tr>";
}
}

$return .= "</table>";

Okay the array you are using is an associated array, this means the keys are words not numbers

 

here is a quick example

//associated Array
$list = array('Cat'=> 'Dog','Mad'=> 'Techie');
echo $list['Cat'];

//indexed Array
$list = array('Cat','Dog','Mad','Techie');
echo $list[0];
echo $list[1];
echo $list[2];

So, I can't loop through it? I have to manually print each item?

use a foreach loop

I was using a foreach previously, but changed the code so that I would have multiple <td> columns for the output. How do I incorporate a foreach into my existing code?

Use $i as a counter ie

 

$i=0;
foreach($list as $key => $value) {
$i++;
