• PHP - Using Loops With Arrays

  Posted on April 13th, 2009 admin 1 comment

  There’s an even better way of displaying a numerical array’s contents by using a loop because the array is basically indexed by numbers.

  We can use a ‘for’ loop to do this:

  for ($counter = 0; $counter<10; $counter++) {

  echo $celebrity_array[$counter] . ” “;

  }

  There’s another loop which you could use which was designed for arrays in the first place and that’s the ‘foreach’ loop:

  foreach ($celebrity_array as $action_heroes) {

  echo $action_heroes. ” “;

  }

  Here is a while loop that uses the each construct.

  while ($variable = each($numbers)) {

  echo $element['key'];

  echo ” - “;

  echo $element['value'];

  echo “<br />”;

  }
