I'm trying to practice/learn foreach loops in PHP. I understand basic foreach. But I struggle with multi-dimensionals.
I want to get my every array birthday,photo name,photo url,category.
But I cant retrieve those correctly with foreach loop

Answer 1

Use a simple foreach() for iterating over MD arrays..
foreach($yourarray['results'] as $k=>$arr)
{
echo $arr['birthday'];
echo $arr['photo']['name'];
echo $arr['photo']['url'];
}

Answer 2

Let's say your array is $data,
foreach ($data['results'] as $key => $value)
echo $value['birthday'];
echo $value['photo']['name'];
echo $value['photo']['url'];
}
use $key as index value.

Answer 3

This is how you can access your nested array, regardless the amount of categories:
// Loop over all elements of main array element
foreach($array['results'] as $arr_key => $arr_value) {
// Loop over children
foreach($arr_value as $key => $value) {
// Element is array (like 'category' or 'photo')
if(is_array($value)) {
foreach($value as $sub_key => $sub_value) {
echo $key."[".$sub_key."] = ".$sub_value;
}
// Element is no array
} else {
echo $key." = ".$value;
}
}
}
