Question

I have a bit of difficulty creating some tables in a specific order from this array: $test.

The array looks like this:

Array
(
    [ET5] => Array(
        [0] => Array(
            [0] => Array(
                [total] => 430
            )
        )
        [1] => Array(
            [0] => Array(
                [total] => 406
            )
        )
    )
    [FA] => Array(
        [0] => Array(
            [0] => Array(
                [total] => 0
            )
        )                   
        [1] => Array(
            [0] => Array(
                [total] => 0
            )
        )
    )
    [ET5] => Array(
        [0] => Array(
            [0] => Array(
                [total] => 189
            )
        )
        [1] => Array(
            [0] => Array(
                [total] => 228
            )
        )
    )
    [FA] => Array(
        [0] => Array(
            [0] => Array(
                [total] => 0
            )
        )
        [1] => Array(
            [0] => Array(
                [total] => 0
            )
        )
    )
)

and the tables I want to create should look like this:

table1

test1      test2   test3
ET5        430     189
FA         0       0

table2

test1      test2    test3
ET5        406      228
FA         0        0

test1, test2, test3 are known strings

I’m a bit stuck on this one, notice how the values from the ET5 are in two tables.

Any ideas on this one?

You should definitely not overwrite the keys of the array like you do above.

I would separate what you want in each tables by adding them as arrays to your already multi-dimensional array…

$test = array(
    [0] => array(
        [ET5] => array(), //rest of inner contents inside these arrays of course
        [FA] => array()
    ),
    [1] => array(
        [ET5] => array(),
        [FA] => array()
    )
);

then run your foreach loop as you would on any array:

<?php foreach($test AS $key => $val): ?>
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Test1</th>
        <th>Test2</th>
        <th>Test3</th>
    </tr>
    <?php foreach($val AS $v => $info): ?>
    <tr>
        <td><?php echo $v; ?></td>
        <td><?php echo $info[0][0]['total']; ?></td>
        <td><?php echo $info[1][0]['total']; ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</table>    
<?php endforeach; ?>
