Question

i have 2 foreach loops, they both loop through the same array; however one loops through the array after str_replace is used, while the other does not use str_replace;

my problem; how do i coordinate these 2 loops so that they will loop through the same array at the same time?

sorry if my problem is not as descriptive;

$contents = ftp_nlist($conn_id, $dir);
$unalteredcontents = ftp_nlist($conn_id, $dir);
foreach ($unalteredcontents as $fname2)
{
    if (($fname2 != '.') && ($fname2 != '..'))
    {
        $url = "http://mywebsite.com/folder/" . $userid . "/" . $fname2 . "";
        next($fname2);
    }
}
$contents = str_replace("-", '', $contents);
$contents = str_replace(".pdf", '', $contents);

foreach ($contents as $fname)
{
    if (($fname != '.') && ($fname != '..'))
    {
        $sql_select = "INSERT INTO `database`.`column` (`data`, `fileurl`) VALUES ('" . $fname . "', '" . $url . "') ";
    }
}

Something like this:

$unalteredcontents = ftp_nlist($conn_id, $dir);
$contents = str_replace("-", '', $unalteredcontents);
$contents = str_replace(".pdf", '', $contents);

foreach ($contents as $key => $fname)
{
    if (($fname != '.') && ($fname != '..'))
    {
        $url = "http://mywebsite.com/folder/" . $userid . "/" . $unalteredcontents[$key];
        $sql_select = "INSERT INTO `database`.`column` (`data`, `fileurl`) VALUES ('" . $fname . "', '" . $url . "') ";
    }
}
