help with foreaching through an array

[dadamssg87]

I'm putting selected rows into an array with each row as its own array in that array. Here's a print_r($bookings) of what i'm trying to say. $bookings is the parent array that holds it all.

Array

(

    [1] => Array

        (

            [id] => 189

            [name] => Spans june and july

            [start] => 2011-06-30 00:01:00

            [end] => 2011-07-01 00:00:00

        )

 

    [2] => Array

        (

            [id] => 193

            [name] => Only July

            [start] => 2011-07-11 00:01:00

            [end] => 2011-07-12 00:00:00

        )

 

    [3] => Array

        (

            [id] => 194

            [name] => Clean up after Only July

            [start] => 2011-07-13 00:00:00

            [end] => 2011-07-13 00:00:00

        )

 

)

 

now i'm trying to walk through the each array thats in the parent array like so.

<?php
foreach($bookings as $key)
{

echo "The id of this booking is ".$bookings[$key]['id'].".<br>";
echo "The start of this bookings is ".$bookings[$key]['start'].".<br>";

}
?>

 

This isn't working. I'm getting an "Illegal offset type" error. Anybody know what i'm not doing right?

If you specify only one parameter, it doesn't matter what you name it, it will return the value of the element, not the value of the key. In other words, your $key variable holds an array.

 

foreach

 

foreach( $array as $key => $value ) {} // will return both key and value

foreach( $array as $value ) {} // Is no different from:
foreach( $array as $key ) {} // does not return the value of the key

ah i see. Thanks!

<?php
foreach($bookings as $key => $value)
{

echo "The id of this booking is ".$bookings[$key]['id'].".<br>";
echo "The start of this bookings is ".$bookings[$key]['start'].".<br>";

}
?>
