foreach array inside array

[jman11]

hi i want to use foreach on an array, except the array is inside another array and i have no clue why. anyways, is there a way to like take out the inner array and put it by iteself so i can use it with foreach();

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 50 ) )

[eelixduppy]

foreach($outterArray[0] AS $inner)

:)

yeh i just got that thanks.

this is sort of off topic, but is it possible to do this:

foreach($new[0] as $key => $value) {
  $replace = '<font style="font-size: '.$value.'">';
  preg_replace("/abc/",$replace,$contents);
}

its just showing up blank for me, i have several spots where its "abc" in $contents, and i have the values i want to replace it with in an array ($new), how do i replace each one with the value from the array?

You need to assign the regex to a variable or echo it:

foreach($new[0] as $key => $value) {
$replace = '<font style="font-size: '.$value.'">';
$replace = preg_replace("/abc/",$replace,$contents);
echo $replace;
}

Also off topic, don't do this

$replace = '<font style="font-size: '.$value.'">';

<font> has been deprecated for years, instead do

$replace = '<span style="font-size: '.$value.'">';

or better yet,

$element_type='<p>';

$replace = '<' . $element_type . ' class="'.$value.'">';

It may require a little more work, but when it comes time to resolve cross browser issues (and others,) it will really help you.

@dreamcatcher - when i echo inside the foreach, it echos the $contents 3 times, i only want it to echo once with the 3 sections replaced only.

It will echo it for as many values as the array holds.

EG: array(1, 2, 3) would echo 3 times array(1, 2, 3, 4) would echo 4 times and so on.

@PHPcoder, obviously... thats what i just said. anyone know how to echo an array variable and have it go like, first time replace = $array[0], second replace = $array[1], etc.

What benefit are you trying to get here? By looping through the way you are, the occurances of abc are going to be replaced by the first iteration of your foreach loop.

If you are trying to get the value of the first element within a multi-dimensional array, this would serve you better.

$replace = '<font style="font-size: '. current($new[0]).'">'; //we don't care what the key is.
$contents = str_replace("abc", $replace, $contents);
echo $contents;
