Question

This is what i am currently using

<?php $sidebar = $this->data['sidebar']; 
$lastKey = array_pop(array_keys($sidebar));
$sidebar = $this->data['sidebar'][$lastKey]; ?>
<?php foreach($sidebar as $key => $item) { ?>
<li id="<?php echo Sanitizer::escapeId( "pt-$key" ) ?>"<?php
    if ($item['active']) { ?> class="active"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item['href']) ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($item['text']) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>

This is what i get (http://pastebin.com/t6Y2ZtMF) when i print_r($sidebar);
I want to get the last Array which is Categories and turn it into links.

I am new to php, so my method could be wrong even though it works. I is there a right way to pull the Categories Array or the above code is good as it is?

Answer 1

$lastValue = end($array);
$lastKey = key($array); // current key, which is the last since you called end()

After update:

You don’t seem to be needing the key, only the array:

<?php $lastSidebarValue = end($this->data['sidebar']); ?>
<?php foreach ($lastSidebarValue as $key => $item) : ?>
    business as usual...
<?php endforeach; ?>

Since you know you want the key 'Categories' though (not the last key), this seems the most logical thing to do:

<?php foreach ($this->data['sidebar']['Categories'] as $key => $item) : ?>
    business as usual...
<?php endforeach; ?>
