Re: Displaying full array contents

You could always use a for loop enbeded in a while loop to walk through a linked list. <html> <body> <?php $Arr1[1] = "Apple"; $Arr1[2] = "Banana"; $Arr1[3] = &$Arr2; $Arr2[1] = "Carrot"; $Arr2[2] = &$Arr3; $Arr3[1] = "Orange"; $Arr3[2] = "Peach"; $Arr3[3] = ""; //Anything that is used to define the end of the list. print_r($Arr1); //used a pre-existing function. $handle = &$Arr1; while ($handle != ""){ for( $i=1; $i < sizeof($handle) ; $i++){ echo " "; echo $handle[$i]; } $handle = $handle[sizeof($handle)]; //last value in the array contains the address of the next array. } ?> </body> </html> You could expand the list out as long as you have memory and this function would walk through it until it found the end. But the true questions is why would you want to when you can already dynamically change the size of arrays in php. ----------------------------------------------------------- IRS: Income Removal Service ----------------------------------------------------------- This Quote has been brought to you in part by the Letter C.
