Access Value of an array in php inside of another Array

Question

I am trying to get values from array inside of another array. I have seen lots of answers here about this but i cannot manage to do so. I have an array like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [listingid] => 1234
            [availability] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [von] => 2015-11-07
                            [bis] => 2016-03-19
                        )

                    [1] => Array
                        (
                            [von] => 2016-03-19
                            [bis] => 2016-03-28
                        )

                    [2] => Array
                        (
                            [von] => 2016-03-28
                            [bis] => 2016-07-30
                        )

                )

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [listingid] => 5678
            [availability] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [von] => 2015-11-07
                            [bis] => 2016-03-19
                        )

                    [1] => Array
                        (
                            [von] => 2016-03-19
                            [bis] => 2016-03-28
                        )

                    [2] => Array
                        (
                            [von] => 2016-03-28
                            [bis] => 2016-07-30
                        )

                )

        )
)

and i do this to get values:

foreach($first as $key => $value){
    echo "Value: " . $value[$key]['availability']['von'] . "<br>";
}

which normally should work based on the answers i saw but it gives me empty value.

I have also tried this:

foreach($first as $key => $value){
    $listid = $value['listingid'];
    echo $listid;
}

and this gives me the value of the listingid. How can i get values for von and bis?

Any suggestions?

Look how you access listingid: $value['listingid']; and how you access availability: $value[$key]['availability']['von']. And also look in which dimension both of those keys are.. — Rizier123

Compare $value['listingid'] and $value[$key]['availability']['von'], so you know the first one works. Now also compare where those two keys are located: listingid and availability — Rizier123

You just need to run a nested loop.

foreach($first as $value){
   echo "Listing ID:".$value['listingid'];
   echo "<br/>";
   foreach($value['availability'] as $availability) {
         echo "Value: " . $availability['von'] . "<br>";
   }
}

thanks a lot...i was trying this:

foreach($first as $key => $value){ 	//$listid = $value['listingid']; 	foreach($first['availability'] as $availability){ 		echo "Value: " . $availability['von'] . "<br>"; 	} 	 }

but it was giving me errors.....

That's because you used $first['availability']. Should have used $value['availability'] instead. :)
