Muliti dimensional Array question w/ Date

[paruby]

I know how to work w/ arrays when they are passed from say a POST, but can't seem to create one on my own...

 

I have 2 sets of variables.  I have a name and date, and want to print them.  I have basically:

 

$Name1 = "John";

$Date1 = "200802";  // Formatted as CCYYMM

$Name2 = "Mark";

$Date2 = "200803";

 

I want print them as:

 <a href=$Date1.php>$Name1 - $Date1</a> <br>
<a href=$Date2.php>$Name2 - $Date2</a> <br>

 

But I am unsure how I build the array in the first place.

 

My second question is, can I convert the date variable to the month name, ie "February 2008", "March 2008", in the link after the name variable?

 

Thanx!

<?php
$Name1 = "John";
$Date1 = "200802";   // Formatted as CCYYMM
$Name2 = "Mark";
$Date2 = "200803";

$data = array(
              array ($Name1, $Date1),
              array ($Name2, $Date2),
        );

foreach ($data as $item)
{
    list($nm, $dt) = $item;
    $display = date('F Y', strtotime($dt.'01'));
    echo "<a href='$dt.php'>$nm - $display</a><br/>";
}		
?>

Thanx Barand!  As usual, I was over complicating it!
