Simple Echo Spacing Question

[Foser]

Hello well I've been learning php for around a day now and got to arrays which i found quite nice, better than normal statements.

Although I have problem with echo spacing also with everything else. here is my code.

 

<?php
$bakery = array(  
"Cherry" => array("5.00" , "six pieces"),
"Apple" => array("3.00" , "two pieces"),
);

echo "The Cherry costs".$backery[Cherry][0]."for". $bakery[Cherry][1];
echo "The Apple costs". $backery[Apple][0] ."for". $bakery[Apple][1];
?>

 

 

 

The output of this is:

The Cherry costsforsix piecesThe Apple costsfortwo pieces

 

how can i space the things? so it looks nice, and how to do so its one bellow each other....

 

Thanks

echo "The Cherry costs".$backery[Cherry][0]."for". $bakery[Cherry][1]."<br>";
echo "The Apple costs". $backery[Apple][0] ."for". $bakery[Apple][1]."<br>";

<?php
echo "The Cherry costs " . $backery['Cherry'][0] . " for " . $bakery['Cherry'][1];
echo "The Apple costs " . $backery['Apple'][0] ." for " . $bakery['Apple'][1];

 

Just add spaces like above.

 

A side note, use single or double quotes around array indexes. IE Cherry and Apple, if you do not you have a chance of a notice of call to undefined constant. It is just proper PHP programming and tends to be more efficient.

thanks!

 

 

also the first arrays in both echos don't show... why is that?

It's because you have a typo when referencing the array.  Your code is attempting to access $backery['Cherry'][0], instead of $bakery['Cherry'][0].  See the extra 'c'?

ah ok, thanks mate. Solved it.
