Question

Doing a homework assignment and I’m not sure I can wrap my mind around how to go about this problem. I have two arrays with the same amount of values:

$monthsShort = array("Jan", "Feb", ..., "Nov", "Dec");
$monthsLong = array("January", "February", ..., "November", "December");

I need a loop that will traverse both of them and generate output that looks like this:

1 Jan January

2 Feb February

…

12 Dec December

I’m just really not sure where to begin as I can’t find a similar problem in my textbook. I did find this: Foreach loop with multiple arrays, but I am not sure how/why it works. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

for ($i = 0; $i < 12; $i++) {
  $p = $i+1;
  echo "$p {$monthsShort[$i]} {$monthsLong[$i]}";
}
