PHP nested foreach

Question

I thought that I understood php arrays, but it seems I don't :( This is my code:

<?php

// Create a magazines array
$magazines = array();

// Put 5 magazines on it
for($x=0;$x<5;$x++)
    $magazines[] = "Magazine " . $x ;


// Associate articles array to each magazine
foreach($magazines as $magazine){
    $articles[$magazine] = array();
    for($x=0;$x<3;$x++)
        $articles[$magazine] = $magazine . " - Article " . $x ;
}

// List them all
foreach($magazines as $magazine){
    echo $magazine . " has these articles: <br>";
    foreach($articles[$magazine] as $article)
        echo $article . "</br>";
}

?>

It only prints the magazines, not the articles inside each magazine. It's clear there is something I don't get about nested foreach loops. Could you please help me? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance! :)

Answer 1

You missed the [] in the nested loop:

<?php

// Create a magazines array
$magazines = array();

// Put 5 magazines on it
for($x=0;$x<5;$x++)
    $magazines[] = "Magazine " . $x ;


// Associate articles array to each magazine
foreach($magazines as $magazine){
    $articles[$magazine] = array();
    for($x=0;$x<3;$x++)
        $articles[$magazine][] = $magazine . " - Article " . $x ;
}

// List them all
foreach($magazines as $magazine){
    echo $magazine . " has these articles: <br>";
    foreach($articles[$magazine] as $article)
        echo $article . "</br>";
}

?>

This snippet should work
