Loop through an array php

Question

Using foreach loop without key

foreach($array as $item) {
    echo $item['filename'];
    echo $item['filepath'];

    // to know what's in $item
    echo '<pre>'; var_dump($item);
}

Using foreach loop with key

foreach($array as $i => $item) {
    echo $item[$i]['filename'];
    echo $item[$i]['filepath'];

    // $array[$i] is same as $item
}

Using for loop

for ($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++) {
    echo $array[$i]['filename'];
    echo $array[$i]['filepath'];
}

var_dump is a really useful function to get a snapshot of an array or object.

Ok, I know there is an accepted answer but… for more special cases you also could use this one:

array_map(function($n) { echo $n['filename']; echo $n['filepath'];},$array);

Or in a more un-complex way:

function printItem($n){
    echo $n['filename'];
    echo $n['filepath'];
}

array_map('printItem', $array);

This will allow you to manipulate the data in an easier way.

Starting simple, with no HTML:

foreach($database as $file) {
    echo $file['filename'] . ' at ' . $file['filepath'];
}

And you can otherwise manipulate the fields in the foreach.

foreach($array as $item=>$values){
     echo $values->filepath;
    }
