I have two lists of words in two arrays
first array
Array
(
[0] => make
[1] => break
[2] => buy
)
second array
Array
(
[0] => home
[1] => car
[2] => bike
)
and I want to display all possible combinations but make sure the first array is always the first word and 2nd array is always the second word:
The above two arrays should display the following list:
make home
make car
make bike
break home
break car
break bike
buy home
buy car
buy bike
Thank you in advance.
Hi Saikios,
thanks for your reply.
This is what I have which seems very similar to what you have posted:
$list1 = array("make","break","buy");
$list2 = array("home","car","bike");
for($a=0; $a<3; $a++){
for($b=0; $b<3; $b++){
echo($list1[$a].$list2[$b]);
echo("<br />");
}
}
Just was wondering if there is a better way. Both of my lists have about 200 words.

Answer 1

For a correct answer I would need to know what you are trying or how,
but a solution for that problem is as simple as
<?php
$array1 = array("make", "break", "buy");
$array2 = array("home", "car", "bike");
foreach ($array1 as $i => $value) {
foreach ($array2 as $j => $value2) {
echo $value.' '.$value2.'<br />';
}
}
?>

Answer 2

foreach($firstarray as $f)
{
foreach($secondarray as $s)
{
echo $f.' '.$s;
}
}
To make sure the first array is always the first word we use it as the primary loop. In essence we are iterating through each item and for each item we find in the array we are then looping through the second array so it creates all the word combinations for each item in the first array.
This example is more efficient that the previously chosen answer since pulling the array key out of each item is not needed and therefore not the most efficient answer to the question.
