Code: Select all
$c =1;
foreach ($newStockArray as $v) {
echo ''.$newStockArray[$c].' => '.$v.'';
$c++;
}
i dont usually hold arrays like this, ive never used foreach and the manual for that page is sketchy at best

Okay, so $newStockArray is the array output above?
$newStockArray['Sila'] and $newStockArray['OTS'] would be the references to use, not numeric indexing. Now, if $v is the above array the references would be very similar, and one could use
Code: Select all
foreach($newStockArray as $c => $v)
{
echo $v['Sila'];
}for example.

this is basically a for loop, so would i need to do array_keys and then echo the key dynamically?

NvM
Code: Select all
$newStockKeys = array_keys ($newStockArray);
$c = 0;
foreach ($newStockArray as $v) {
// get percentage
$percentageBrand = number_format((($v / $totalItems) * 100), 2);
echo ''.$newStockKeys[$c].': '.$v.' <strong>'.$percentageBrand.'%</strong><br>';
$c++;
}
it just seems like a really long way of doing something that should be so simple :S

foreach($a as $i=>$v) {
echo $i, ': ', $v, "<br />\n";
