I have an array that looks like this:
$array = Array(
"person1" => Array(
"person2" => Array(
"something", "something else", "something else again"),
"person3" => Array(
"hey", "hi", "hello")
),
"person4" => Array(
"person5" => Array(
"bob", "bill", "bobby", "billy"),
"person6" => Array(
"there", "their", "here")
)
);
I have a foreach
loop that looks like this:
foreach($array["person1"] as $value){
}
I want to get to the third level of the array (with all the words like "something"). There's a key that I don't know ("person2" or "person3")
Is there a "wildcard" I can use as the key? (Like $array["person1"][wildcard][0]
?
There are no "wildcards" for array keys, since the keys are identifiers.
Simply iterate through the array and echo the first element:
foreach ($array['person1'] as $key => $items) {
// $key will contain the key, if you would need it.
// $items contains the array of each child
echo $items[0] . '<br />';
}
