Re: 2 dimensional array processing

You've created a 2x2 array, not a 1x4, which might be confusing you: tab2 ["fields1"] ["fields5"] tab1 ["fields2"] ["fields7"] You almost have it, you just need to set your loop up to handle unlimited field/value pairs in your array. One option is to structure your loop like this: foreach ($insert as $table => $fields) { foreach($fields as $field => $value) { $fieldValuePairs[] = "$field = $value"; } $fieldValueStr = implode(',', $fieldValuePairs); echo "update $table set $fieldValueStr"; unset($fieldValuePairs); } On Jan 11, 2005, at 6:22 AM, Benjamin Edwards wrote:

If I create the following 2 dimensional associative array:- $insert["tab2"]["fields1"] = "value1"; $insert["tab1"]["fields2"] = "value2"; $insert["tab2"]["fields5"] = "value3"; $insert["tab1"]["fields7"] = "value4"; how do I do 2 levels of nested loop with the first level looping through the first level of the array and the second nesting through the second. something like:- foreach( $insert as $table => $fields ) { foreatch( $fields as $field => $value ) {

    echo "update $table set $field = $value";
