What is the best way to do this? I have two arrays:
$cars=array("ford","chevy");
$models=array("ford"=>array("ranger","escape"),"chevy"=>array("malibu","tahoe"));
Why do you even need the $cars array? Wouldn't this work?
foreach($models as $car => $model_array) {
foreach($model_array as $key => $model) {
print "The car is a $car $model";
}
}
If you know what manufacturer you want ('ford' or 'chevy') then you can just get the models for that by doing this:
$car = 'ford';
foreach($models[$car] as $key => $model) {
print "The car is a $car $model";
}

then I need to traverse both arrays:
foreach ($cars as $car){
//now I need to get into the models array and echo out all of the
models that
//coincide with the specific car so it should print
out ford-ranger
//I basically want to do this but can't
//how can I get into this second array without looping
through the whole thing each time?
foreach($cars[$car] as $model){
}
}
Thanks!
