Question

I have an array that sets a number for each animal. I want to create a loop which will auto-increment for however number of animals there are

$animal = array(
    'dog' => 2,
    'cat' => 4,

    );
foreach($animal as $pet => $num) {
    echo(sprintf('this is %s number $s', $pet, $num));
    };

Ideally I want it to display

this is dog number 1

this is dog number 2

this is cat number 1

this is cat number 2

this is cat number 3

this is cat number 4

Answer 1

$animal = array(
'dog' => 2,
'cat' => 4,

);

foreach($animal as $pet => $num){
$i = 0;
while($num > 0)
{
    $i++;
    echo "This is $pet number $i<br/>";
    $num--;
}
}
