I need to iterate through a dynamic array. The array will look something like the following:

Array ( [2010091907] => Array ( [home] => Array ( [score] => Array ( [1] => 7 [2] => 17 [3] => 10 [4] => 7 [5] => 0 [T] => 41 ) [abbr] => ATL [to] => 2 ) [away] => Array ( [score] => Array ( [1] => 0 [2] => 7 [3] => 0 [4] => 0 [5] => 0 [T] => 7 ) [abbr] => ARZ [to] => 2 ) [weather] => [media] => Array ( [tv] => FOX [sat] => 709 [sathd] => 709 [radio] => Array ( [home] => 153 [away] => 90 ) ) [bp] => 13 [yl] => [qtr] => Final [down] => 0 [togo] => 0 [clock] => 00:26 [posteam] => ARZ [note] => [redzone] => [stadium] => Georgia Dome )

I need it to be dynamic and for testing purposes, I need to be able to call it via:

echo "Key: $key; Value: $value<br />\n";

I'm going to later take this information and place it into a mysql database, but for now, I need to brush up on arrays and figure out how to format the data.

Any help is appreciated.

I´d go for a recursive function: If a value is an array, call it again and otherwise display the key / value pair.

Something like (not tested):

function display_array($your_array) { foreach ($your_array as $key => $value) { if is_array($value) { display_array($value); } else { echo "Key: $key; Value: $value<br />\n"; } } } display_array($some_array);

This definately worked. I just have to figure out how, using this information, I can call objects out of the array, such as the value of "home", etc.
I initially thought you might want to get individual values of keys, but I dismissed it as you had a lot of duplicate keys like home, away, to, etc. Glad you got it working!
Cool answer! I had to change if is_array($value) to if (is_array($value))
