I have a reasonably simple multi dimensional array, that i want to display the "name" of a certain array index...

for example say i have the value 22, i want to be able to display "wheelchair".

i get a little lost when it comes to the second dimension.

thus far i have tried..

$result is the multidimensional array above.

$resulting_bits is this array (it is built dynamically and could have up to 40 values):

Array ( [0] => 23 [1] => 26 [2] => 33 )

this is the code i have at the moment

foreach($resulting_bits as $val) {

echo $val;

echo "<br>";

$answer = ($result[$val]);

foreach($answer as $conditionname) {


print_r ($conditionname);
echo "<br>";
echo $conditionname[Name];
}

this gives me 

Array ( [0] => 23 [1] => 26 [2] => 33 )
23
M50
MM50
M8388608
88388608
826
Special
SSpecial
S67108864
667108864
633
Maxi10str
MMaxi10str
M8589934592
88589934592
8

which seems odd to me... how do i just display the "name"??

    echo $result[22]["Name"] ? Or do you need an iteration? Commented Sep 20, 2013 at 0:15
  • "$resulting_bits is this array (it is built dynamically and could have up to 40 values):" What do you mean by "this array"? Are you saying that you want to retreive all of the name's that correspond to the indexes stored in $resulting_bits?\ Commented Sep 20, 2013 at 0:34

the second for loop is unnecessary! It is not an associative array at that point.

foreach($resulting_bits as $val) {

echo $val;

echo "<br>";

$answer = ($result[$val]);
$name = $answer['Name'];
echo $name;

}

I would personnaly just do:

foreach($resulting_bits as $val) {

   echo $result[$val]['Name'];

}
