echo key and value of an array without and with loop

Question

This is an array i have

How do i get to echo something

Answer 1

A recursive function for a change;) I use it to output the media information for videos etc elements of which can use nested array / attributes.

function custom_print_array($arr = array()) {
    $output = '';
    foreach($arr as $key => $val) {
        if(is_array($val)){
            $output .= '<li><strong>' . ucwords(str_replace('_',' ', $key)) . ':</strong><ul class="children">' . custom_print_array($val) . '</ul>' . '</li>';
        }
        else {
            $output .=  '<li><strong>' . ucwords(str_replace('_',' ', $key)) . ':</strong> ' . $val . '</li>';
        }
    }
    return $output;

}

Answer 2

Without a loop, just for the kicks of it...

---

You can either convert the array to a non-associative one, by doing:

$page = array_values($page);

And then acessing each element by it's zero-based index:

echo $page[0]; // 'index.html'
echo $page[1]; // 'services.html'

---

Or you can use a slightly more complicated version:

$value = array_slice($page, 0, 1);

echo key($value); // Home
echo current($value); // index.html

$value = array_slice($page, 1, 1);

echo key($value); // Service
echo current($value); // services.html

Answer 3

You can try following code:

foreach ($arry as $key => $value) 
{
      echo $key;
      foreach ($value as  $val) 
      {
         echo $val; 
      }
}

Answer 4

If you must not use a loop (why?), you could use array_walk,

function printer($v, $k) {
   echo "$k is at $v\n";
}

array_walk($page, "printer");

Answer 5

function displayArrayValue($array,$key) {
   if (array_key_exists($key,$array)) echo "$key is at ".$array[$key];
}

displayArrayValue($page, "Service");
