loop through array

[poe]

i have 2 arrays... first array of lastnames, second array of firstnames

 

lastAry = array('smith', 'jones', 'reed', 'chan')

firstAry = array('mary', 'chris', 'kim', joe', 'sara', 'tim', 'amy', 'fred')

 

how do i loop through each lastnames and turn into a string with firstname so it looks like :

 

smith | mary | chris

jones | kim | joe

reed | sara | tim

chan | amy | fred

That's an odd data structure.  You can print them out like this:

 

$lastAry = array('smith', 'jones', 'reed', 'chan');
$firstAry = array('mary', 'chris', 'kim', 'joe', 'sara', 'tim', 'amy', 'fred');
$names_count = count($lastAry);
for ($i = 0; $i < $names_count; $i++) {
  print "{$lastAry[$i]} | {$firstAry[$i*2]} | {$firstAry[$i*2+1]}\n";
}
