嵌套的foreach循环

Question

I have an array that looks like this

$foreacharray = array(
    "model" => array ("samsung", "sony", "philips", "acer", "hp"),
    "qty" => array("3", "7", "5", "1", "8"),
);

What I'm trying to do is foreach model, draw the logo for the amount of its qty so Samsung = 3, Sony = 7 and so on will draw 3 Sony logos and 7 Samsung logos.

I came up with something like this

foreach ($foreacharray["model"] as $model)
{
    foreach($foreacharray["qty"] as $qty)
    {
        echo $model;
        echo '<br>';
    }
}

But of course all that does is for each of the array entries, echo out the name so I end up with 5 samsungs being printed 5 sonys being printed etc.

How can I make this use the value of the qty array rather than the number of entries?

Answer 1

Why not make this simpler by using the function array_combine?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-combine.php

Example;

$newArray = array_combine($foreacharray[0], $foreacharray[1]);
var_dump($newArray);
// will output
array (
     "samsung" => 3,
     "sony" => 7,
     "philips" => 5,
     "acer" => 1, 
     "hp" => 8,
)

Then you can easily get all values or display them like so...

foreach($newArray as $key => $val) {
    echo $key . ' has a quantity of ' . $val . '.';
}

Hope this makes it easier.
