Question

I’ve cleaned this up to where I know there is an issue. Bluntly I’ve got a foreach statement cutting off all by one character of the results. Example in comments below.

print_r($getarticlemultiarray);

/// this print_r returns good values like [title] => titletext [body] => bodytext
foreach ($getarticlemultiarray as $zyz)  {
    echo $zyz['title'];
// here is the problem.  This echo statement is only throwing out 1 character
 // for example with the values in the example above it's just echoing a 't'.

}  // end foreach

This foreach is nested inside another one, but I’m not doing anything with string lengths, and I am not using $zyz anywhere else. Nothing strange but normal words with no special characters either.

Answer 1

Based on what you have said, it looks like your print_r is essentially

Array (
   ['title'] => 'titletext',
   ['body'] => 'bodytext
)

In that case, your foreach is setting $zyz to titletext and bodytext, respectively. These strings have no ‘title’ key. PHP will treat these key as 0 which in turn returns the first character (hence why you see a ‘t’). Seems like you don’t have to loop here.
