PHP foreach subarray in array - php

Question

I'm trying to parse an array that looks like this:
array(1) {
["StrategischeDoelstellingenPerDepartement"] => array(412) {
[0] => array(5) {
["CodeDepartement"] => string(8) "DEPBRAND"
["NummerHoofdstrategischeDoelstelling"] => string(1) "1"
["Nummer"] => string(2) "27"
["Titel"] => string(22) "DSD 01 - HULPVERLENING"
["IdBudgetronde"] => string(1) "2"
}
[1] => array(5) {
["CodeDepartement"] => string(8) "DEPBRAND"
["NummerHoofdstrategischeDoelstelling"] => string(1) "2"
["Nummer"] => string(2) "28"
["Titel"] => string(24) "DSD 02 - Dienstverlening"
["IdBudgetronde"] => string(1) "2"
}
[2] => array(5) {
["CodeDepartement"] => string(8) "DEPBRAND"
["NummerHoofdstrategischeDoelstelling"] => string(1) "2"
["Nummer"] => string(2) "29"
["Titel"] => string(16) "DSD 03 - KLANTEN"
["IdBudgetronde"] => string(1) "2"
}
...
(The array goes on but it's too big to post it here in its entirety)
I can do a foreach loop on the array like this:
foreach($my_arr->StrategischeDoelstellingenPerDepartement as $row){
echo "i found one <br>";
}
However, I want to do the same thing on other arrays and I want to make the function generic. The first key (StrategischeDoelstellingenPerDepartement in this case) can sometimes change, which is why I'd like to do it generically. I've already tried the following:
foreach($my_arr[0] as $row){
echo "i found one <br>";
}
But then I get the following notice, and no data:
Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in C:\Users\Thomas\Documents\GitHub\Backstage\application\controllers\AdminController.php on line 29
This is probably a silly question, but I'm new to PHP and this seemed like the right way to do it. Obviously, it isn't. Can anyone help me out, please?

Answer 1

Use reset to grab the first element of $my_arr without knowing the key name:
$a = reset($my_arr);
foreach($a as $row){
echo "i found one <br>";
}

Answer 2

Shift the sub-array off the main array and loop over it:
$sub = array_shift($my_arr);
foreach ($sub as $row) {
echo $row['Titel'], "<br>";
}

Answer 3

You are trying to do is object, not array $my_arr->StrategischeDoelstellingenPerDepartement.
You could use isset() to check the index existence:
if(isset($my_arr['StrategischeDoelstellingenPerDepartement'])){
foreach($my_arr['StrategischeDoelstellingenPerDepartement'] as $row){
echo "i found one <br>";
}
}
Or, you could use array_values() to ignore the array keys and to make it an index array:
$my_new_arr = array_values($my_arr);
foreach($my_new_arr as $row){
echo "i found one <br>";
}

Answer 4

Use current ref : http://in3.php.net/manual/en/function.current.php
$a = current($my_arr);
foreach($a as $row){
echo "i found one <br>";
}
