Nesting foreach loop in php

Question

Hi can anyone help me through this,. I'm a beginner learning, please help me nest through foreach loop. Here is the code.

<?php 
                        $resource_url = "/app/resources/";
                        $names = array('Affiliate program','Careers','Corporate info','Eco Initiative','Government Customers','Social Responsibility');
                    ?>

                        <ul>
                            <?php foreach ($names as $arr) {
                                $links = array('affiliate_program','careers','corporate_info','eco','government','responsibility');
                                foreach($links as $url){
                                echo "<li><a href=\"";
                                echo $resource_url; 
                                echo $url;
                                echo "\">";
                                echo $arr;
                                echo "</a></li>";
                                }
                            }?>

                        </ul>

What is the problem ? This code doesn't work ? Please explain your problem with relevant details — Tushar Gupta

Code works fine but values of first array $names are repeating — hemanth kumar

Having the loop within a loop will, I think, create a list 36 entries long. — Professor Abronsius

Thats because your code runs through $links elements for every $names element. You need to use array_combine — Anton F

Try this.

$base_url = "/app/resources/";
$names = array('Affiliate program','Careers','Corporate info','Eco Initiative','Government Customers','Social Responsibility');
$links = array('affiliate_program','careers','corporate_info','eco','government','responsibility');
foreach(array_combine($links, $names) as $key => $url){
    echo "<li><a href=\"";
    echo $base_url; 
    echo $key;
    echo "\">";
    echo $url;
    echo "</a></li>";
}

You've inserted the $links inside the foreach loop. Basically every time you loop one array item, ie. Affiliate Program, you loop the entire array of $links. Put $links outside the foreach loop or better yet.

<?php
$resource_url = "/app/resources/";
$names = array(
    'affiliate_program' => 'Affiliate program',
    'careers' => 'Careers',
    'corporate_info' => 'Corporate info',
    'eco' => 'Eco Initiative',
    'government' => 'Government Customers',
    'responsibility' => 'Social Responsibility');
?>

<ul>
    <?php foreach($names as $href => $arr) {

        echo "<li><a href=\"";
        echo $href;
        echo "\">";
        echo $arr;
        echo "</a></li>";
    }?>
</ul>

Or - if for some reason - you have to start with the two separate arrays array_combine or MultipleIterator may be of use.

You can do this way -

$resource_url = "/app/resources/";
$names = array('Affiliate program','Careers','Corporate info','Eco Initiative','Government Customers','Social Responsibility');
$links = array('affiliate_program','careers','corporate_info','eco','government','responsibility');
foreach(array_combine($links, $names) as $key => $url){
    echo "<li><a href=\"";
    echo $resource_url; 
    echo $key;
    echo "\">";
    echo $url;
    echo "</a></li>";
}

Or generate a single array (key => value) and loop through it.

If you want something like this:

You can simply:

<?php 
$resource_url = "/app/resources/";
$names = array('Affiliate program','Careers','Corporate info','Eco Initiative','Government Customers','Social Responsibility');
$links = array('affiliate_program','careers','corporate_info','eco','government','responsibility');

echo("<ul>");

for($i=0; $i < count($names); $i++){
    echo "<li><a href='";
    echo $resource_url; 
    echo $links[$i];
    echo "'>";
    echo $names[$i];
    echo "</a></li>";
}
echo("</ul>");
?>
