Manipulating Multi dimension array

Question

I have a Multi dimension array and what i 'd like to do is put array to insert the element in each column

for example

Multi dimension array :

Tony 14 Peter 20

I would like to insert them into a different array , so that

column0[]={Tony, Peter} column1[]={14, 20}

Since i do not know the actual no of column , how can i achieve this?

 for ($row = 1; $row <= $highestRow; $row++) { for ($y = 0; $y < $highestColumn; $y++) { ................what should be added here................ } }

Thank you

@zerkms I think he means that the rows are one dimension, the columns are the second :) — Ja͢ck

@Jack: ok. But anyway I'd better go with array in php syntax, that doesn't allow different meanings in terms ;-) — zerkms

@user782104 Where are you getting the data from? Excel sheet, CSV file, etc.? Maybe you could post a small subset of the data? — Ja͢ck

Check out the code below. All you're doing in your actual loop, is swapping the $y and the $row

<?php $original_array = array( array('Tony', 14), array('Peter', 20) ); print_r($original_array); // Array // ( // [0] => Array // ( // [0] => Tony // [1] => 14 // ) // [1] => Array // ( // [0] => Peter // [1] => 20 // ) // ) $new_array = array(); for ($row = 0; $row < count($original_array); $row++) { for ($y = 0; $y < count($original_array[0]); $y++) { $new_array[$y][$row] = $original_array[$row][$y]; } } print_r($new_array); // Array // ( // [0] => Array // ( // [0] => Tony // [1] => Peter // ) // [1] => Array // ( // [0] => 14 // [1] => 20 // ) // )
