looping through array

[CyberShot]

I have an array of social media links that I can't seem to get through.

array (size=5)
  0 => 
    array (size=2)
      'title' => string 'Facebook' (length=
      'address' => string 'http://www.facebook.com' (length=23)
  1 => 
    array (size=2)
      'title' => string 'Twitter' (length=7)
      'address' => string 'http://www.twitter.com' (length=22)
  2 => 
    array (size=2)
      'title' => string 'Instagram' (length=9)
      'address' => string 'http://www.instagram.com' (length=24)
  3 => 
    array (size=2)
      'title' => string 'Pinterest' (length=9)
      'address' => string 'http://www.pinterest.com' (length=24)
  4 => 
    array (size=2)
      'title' => string 'YouTube' (length=7)
      'address' => string 'http://www.youtube.com' (length=22)

I have tried three different loops. Here is my current version

for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($test_input); $i++){
     echo $test_input[$i];
}

all I get is an error stating, Array to string conversion. I did some research and some say to nest the foreach loop because I would be trying to get the information from the wrong array but nothing I try is working.

I figured it out.

foreach($test_input as $social){
	echo $test_input[0]['address'];
}
		

Is there a better way of doing this?

No, you did not.

 

Remember what I said about learning PHP? That wasn't a joke. When you want to write code in a language – any language –, then the first thing you need is an understanding of that language. You cannot write code purely with trial-and-error and copypasta. This isn't possible.

 

So go to an online tutorial or grab a book and read the chapter about arrays. I'll happily help you with specific questions, but right now, you clearly aren't ready for any actual code.

You could use the $social variable. More information about foreach loops can be found here:

That is only going to repeat the 'address' from the first element for however many elements there are in the array. using your sample data above, it would output the facebook address five times. Look at cyberRobot's response and follow Jacques1's advice.

foreach ($mainarray as $k=>$v)
{
   foreach($v as $nam=>$val)
       echo "Element $k contains:  $nam - $val<br>";
}
