Create a while loop from an array

[nzol]

HI all,

 

I need help to get data out of an array using a while loop or something simalar.

 

What I have, is this:

 

<?php

$data = array(

  1  => array(
                         "name" => "Jordan Smith",
		 "age"    => "16 Years 0 Months"
	),
  2  => array(
                        "name" => "Olivia Smith",
                "age"    => "13 Years 12 Months"
	)
);

 

Now, what I did, is I constructed this:

while($result=$data[1]) {
echo $result['name'];
} 

But it echoed "Jordan Smith" for infinity down the page.

 

If anyone can help be do this, it will be great. Thanks

Look into foreach() loops. There purpose is to extract specific values from an array

There purpose is to extract specific values from an array

 

Kind of, but I'd say they're for looping through the contents of an array - or object - as opposed to extracting values from them.

they are the same thing.

function print_arr($common1)

{

$callback =

function($value,$key)

{

            echo $value.'<br/>';

};

array_walk_recursive($common1,$callback);

 

}

$d=print_arr($data);

echo $d;

 

Hope you find it useful.

The following tutorial shows a couple methods of looping through and displaying data from a multidimensional array:
