Loop Through An Array In PHP with 2 or more properties

Question

I'm trying to create an array with two properties and loop through it. But I don't know how to do it.

In this example a have one property:

$foodArray = ["apple", "banana"];

foreach ($foodArray as $food)  {
    echo $food ."<br />";
}

Now I want to add in the array - green to apple and yellow to banana and loop the same way. How to do it in the best way?

Answer 1

You can either add multiple properties by adding multiple elements within a sub-array

$foodArray = [['name' => 'Apple', 'color' => 'Yellow'], 
              ['name' => 'Banana', 'color' => 'yellow']];

foreach($foodArray as $fruit) {
    echo $fruit['name']." - ".$fruit['color']." <br />";
}

Or if you just need these two properties, you can use the key as the name, and the value as the color.

$foodArray = ['Apple' => 'green', 'Banana' => 'yellow'];
foreach($foodArray as $fruit => $color) {
    echo $fruit." - ".$color ." <br />";
}
