PHP foreach loop through multidimensional array

People also ask

How to use foreach loop for multidimensional array in PHP?

Answer: Use the PHP nested loop You can simply use the foreach loop in combination with the for loop to access and retrieve all the keys, elements or values inside a multidimensional array in PHP.

How do you use each loop in a multidimensional array?

For example, write the foreach loop where the $bikes variable is the array. Set the $number variable as key and the $bike variable as value. Next, write another foreach loop inside the just created loop. In the nested loop, write the $bike variable as an array and set the $num and $value as key and value.


$last = count($arr_nav) - 1;

foreach ($arr_nav as $i => $row)
{
    $isFirst = ($i == 0);
    $isLast = ($i == $last);

    echo ... $row['name'] ... $row['url'] ...;
}

<?php
$php_multi_array = array("lang"=>"PHP", "type"=>array("c_type"=>"MULTI", "p_type"=>"ARRAY"));

//Iterate through an array declared above

foreach($php_multi_array as $key => $value)
{
    if (!is_array($value))
    {
        echo $key ." => ". $value ."\r\n" ;
    }
    else
    {
       echo $key ." => array( \r\n";

       foreach ($value as $key2 => $value2)
       {
           echo "\t". $key2 ." => ". $value2 ."\r\n";
       }

       echo ")";
    }
}
?>

OUTPUT:

lang => PHP
type => array( 
    c_type => MULTI
    p_type => ARRAY
)

Reference Source Code


If you mean the first and last entry of the array when talking about a.first and a.last, it goes like this:

foreach ($arr_nav as $inner_array) {
    echo reset($inner_array); //apple, orange, pear
    echo end($inner_array); //My Apple, View All Oranges, A Pear
}

arrays in PHP have an internal pointer which you can manipulate with reset, next, end. Retrieving keys/values works with key and current, but using each might be better in many cases..
