PHP foreach with Nested Array?

by

If you know the number of levels in nested arrays you can simply do nested loops. Like so:

//  Scan through outer loop
foreach ($tmpArray as $innerArray) {
    //  Check type
    if (is_array($innerArray)){
        //  Scan through inner loop
        foreach ($innerArray as $value) {
            echo $value;
        }
    }else{
        // one, two, three
        echo $innerArray;
    }
}

if you do not know the depth of array you need to use recursion. See example below:

//  Multi-dementional Source Array
$tmpArray = array(
    array("one", array(1, 2, 3)),
    array("two", array(4, 5, 6)),
    array("three", array(
            7,
            8,
            array("four", 9, 10)
    ))
);

//  Output array
displayArrayRecursively($tmpArray);

/**
 * Recursive function to display members of array with indentation
 *
 * @param array $arr Array to process
 * @param string $indent indentation string
 */
function displayArrayRecursively($arr, $indent="") {
    if ($arr) {
        foreach ($arr as $value) {
            if (is_array($value)) {
                //
                displayArrayRecursively($value, $indent . '--');
            } else {
                //  Output
                echo "$indent $value \n";
            }
        }
    }
}

The code below with display only nested array with values for your specific case (3rd level only)

$tmpArray = array(
    array("one", array(1, 2, 3)),
    array("two", array(4, 5, 6)),
    array("three", array(7, 8, 9))
);

//  Scan through outer loop
foreach ($tmpArray as $inner) {

    //  Check type
    if (is_array($inner)) {
        //  Scan through inner loop
        foreach ($inner[1] as $value) {
           echo "$value \n";
        }
    }
}
