Question

In PHP, Codeigniter: my array, $phoneList, contains the following:

Array
(
    [name] => One, Are
    [telephonenumber] => 555.222.1111
)

Array
(
    [name] => Two, Are
    [telephonenumber] => 555.222.2222
)

Array
(
    [name] => Three, Are
    [telephonenumber] => 555.222.3333
)

How do I list each name out? Each number out? Am I right in saying my array contains three different Arrays? And is that normal, for an array to contain arrays?

When I do a print_r($phoneList), I get the following:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => One, Are [telephonenumber] => 555.222.1111 ) [1] => Array ( [name] => Two, Are [telephonenumber] => 555.222.2222 ) [2] => Array ( [name] => Three, Are [telephonenumber] => 555.222.3333 ) )

You’ll probably want to use foreach to loop through them. Something like this:

foreach($data as $arr) { // assuming $data is the variable that has all this in
    echo $arr['name'].": ".$arr['telephonenumber']."<br />";
}
