Re: question about foreach and associate array

I have the following construct:

     $arg['textarea']['body']="Hello";

      foreach($arg['textarea'] as $row)
      {
       echo $row['body']."<br/>";          echo $arg['textarea']['body']."<br/>";
          }

I would expect both of them to output "Hello" but only the second does. The first outputs "H". I thought I have done this before. Can anybody tell me why this won't work?

You have an associative array so you need to specify both parts: foreach($arg['textarea'] as $area => $entry) { echo $area . '<br/>'; // body echo $entry . '<br/>'; // hello } Your method works ok for indexed arrays like: $array[1] = "XYZ"; $array[2] = "ABC"; etc
