Re: traverse a multidimensional array

I came up the code below this morning - which I think does what I want (server didn't fall over anyway:)) - i.e recurses through through a deep structure and lists every element. function get_array_elems($arrResult){ while(list($key,$value)=each($arrResult)){ if (is_array($value)){ get_array_elems($value); } else { for ($i=0; $i<count($value);$i++){ echo "array[$key]=$value<br>\n"; } } } } get_array_elems($arrResult); Thanks for the help Lez ----- Original Message ----- > > It occurred to me though, is there a way to recurse through > > the structure if the dimensions are not known? > > count() is a good way.
