Question

Given the array below, can I do this for the switch(use the variable $cost inside the switch)?

Or does the switch($need a different variable here)

$cost=array(chocoru =>1, oeenergy =>0.35, lemondew =>0.55, chcmyst =>0.25, drsalty =>0.75);

Notice the $cost variable inside the switch is the same as the $cost associative array.

switch($cost)
{
case 1:
echo "You chose lemondew <br />";
echo "the price is".$cost["lemondew"]'<br>';
}

Answer 1

No, you have to iterate over the array with a loop.

foreach($cost as $product => $price)
{
    echo "You chose " . $product . "<br />";
    echo "the price is" . $price . '<br>';
}
