2 D associative Array

Array logic or Echo logic wrong?

[henry0]

This an example of what I try to achieve:
(never been in love with those :) )
<<<
$products= array( array( Code=> "AAA",
Description => $aaa,
Price => $p_a
),
array( Code=> "BBB",
Description => $bbb,
Price => $p_b
),
array( Code=> "CCC",
Description => $ccc,
Price => $p_c
)
);

// to read it
for ($row=0; $row < 3; $row++ )
{
while ( list( $key, $value ) = each( $products[ $row ] ) )
{
echo "¦ $value";
}
echo"<br>";
}

>>>

Not sure what you are asking yet. The output of the above will printout something like:

¦ AAA¦ AAA Description¦ 1.23 
¦ BBB¦ BBB Description¦ 2.23 
¦ CCC¦ CCC Description¦ 3.23

Is this not what you want? What is the expected output?

[jatar_k]

something is wrong with the logic there, not walking the array properly

this works

<? 
$products= array( array( Code=> "AAA", Description => $aaa, Price => $p_a), 
array( Code=> "BBB", Description => $bbb, Price => $p_b), 
array( Code=> "CCC", Description => $ccc, Price => $p_c)); 
// to read it 
for ($row=0; $row < 3; $row++ ) { 
 foreach ($products[$row] as $key => $value) { 
 echo "¦ $value"; 
 } 
 echo"<br>"; 
} 
?>

the original code wouldn't work for me, I switched all undeclared vars to strings obviously

<added>strangely, I tried the original code again and it worked, not sure why, must have been a bad upload or something

so I don't know what you're asking either ;)

coopster and jatar_K
Thank you for your help
I feel like very much brain dead

I was still calling the old file
figured it for you mentioned a bad upload :)

Well at least it's a working example

[coopster]

Does this mean the issue is resolved already, henry0? Or am I still missing something here? I'm about as confused as you are ;)

[henry0]

Sorry, Yes issue is resolved
as jatar-k and you mentioned in either ways it worked
and was already working

But it echoed a blank page and no error so I looked and looked again at the script but did not find what was wrong!

Then I posted an excerpt, and you two were also kind of puzzled untill jatar_k suggested a bad upload

well, I simply was calling the old script
thank you.
At least it's a demo of 2D array using associative :)
and how to show the results

don't be mad at me!

[coopster]

Here is something I use sometimes to print them out too:

$out = ''; 
foreach ($products as $array) { 
 $out .= implode(' ¦ ', array_map('htmlentities', $array)) . "<br>"; 
} 
print $out; 

Not so different from what you have there except we don't have to worry about counting how many entries are in the array and it auto-formats the variables for html output with htmlentities(). If you want the pipe on the front of each line as well you would just prepend that to the $out variable concatentation there.

[henry0]

Yes an easier way
And since I might add more dynamism
It will make my life easier by not worrying about the # of rows
