Question

I have several arrays: $n, $p, $a

Each array is the same:

$n = array()
$n['minutes'] = a;
$n['dollars'] = b;
$n['units'] = c;

$p = array()
$p['minutes'] = x;
$p['dollars'] = y;
$p['units'] = z;

etc…

I also have a simple array like this:

$status = array('n', 'p', 'a');

Is it possible for me to use the $status array to loop through the other arrays?

Something like:

foreach($status as $key => $value) {
    //display the amounts amount here
};

So I would end up with:

a
x

b
y

c
z

Or, do I need to somehow merge all the arrays into one?

Answer 1

Use:

$arrayData=array('minutes','dollars','units');
foreach($arrayData as $data) {
    foreach($status as $value) {
       var_dump(${$value}[$data]);
    }
}
