Question

Using Brian’s suggestion below:

foreach($qs as $value){
                echo "<tr>".$value['qnum']." is the questions number and the question text is ".$value['qtext'].". The page and q values are ".$value['page']." and ".$value['questions']." respectively.</tr>";
        }

I get the following output from the array, which isn’t right:

8 is the questions number and the question text is I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives. The page and q values are 1 and q8 respectively.8 is the questions number and the question text is I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives. The page and q values are 1 and q8 respectively.8 is the questions number and the question text is I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives. The page and q values are 1 and q8 respectively.8 is the questions number and the question text is I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives. The page and q values are 1 and q8 respectively.8 is the questions number and the question text is I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives. The page and q values are 1 and q8 respectively.8 is the questions number and the question text is I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives. The page and q values are 1 and q8 respectively.8 is the questions number and the question text is I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives. The page and q values are 1 and q8 respectively.8 is the questions number and the question text is I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives. The page and q values are 1 and q8 respectively

Any further suggestions.

Hi again,

Thanks in advance for the help.

Here is my array based on $rowq:

Array (
 [0] => Array (
       [questions] => q8
       [qnum] => 8
       [qtext] => I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives
       [page] => 1
       )
 [1] => Array (
       [questions] => q8
       [qnum] => 8
       [qtext] => I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives
       [page] => 1
       ) 
 [2] => Array (
       [questions] => q8
       [qnum] => 8
       [qtext] => I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives
       [page] => 1
       ) 
 [3] => Array (
       [questions] => q8 
       [qnum] => 8
       [qtext] => I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives
       [page] => 1
       )
 [4] => Array (
       [questions] => q8
       [qnum] => 8
       [qtext] => I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives
       [page] => 1  
       )
 [5] => Array (
      [questions] => q8 
      [qnum] => 8 
      [qtext] => I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives
      [page] => 1 
      )
 [6] => Array (
      [questions] => q8 
      [qnum] => 8
      [qtext] => I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives
      [page] => 1
      )
 [7] => Array (
      [questions] => q8
      [qnum] => 8
      [qtext] => I know how what I do fits into my team's objectives
      [page] => 1
      ) 
 )

I would like to display elements of the array, looping through each row using (i think) the foreach statement but I can’t get it working, ideally, I would like to echo something like this

echo "<tr>".$rowq[qnum]." is the questions number and the question text is ".$rowq[qtext].".  The page and q values are ".$rowq[page]." and ".$rowq[questions]." respectively.";

And that link of text would appear however many rows the array has in it.

Any and all advice appreciated – I’m struggling like heck to get my head around multi-dimensional arrays 🙁

modifications from TriLLi

1) you don’t need the $key since you never use it – in fact php will report a warning or notice

2) avoid using the error suppression operator, @, if you don’t need to

3) also you wanted <tr> tags, right?

foreach($rowq as $value){
            echo "<tr><td>".$value['qnum']." is the questions number 
  and the question text is ".$value['qtext'].". The page and q values are".
$value['page']." and ".$value['questions']." respectively.</td></tr>";
    }
