Create a multidimensional array of movies organized by genre. This should take the form of an associative array with genres as keys, such as Science Fiction, Action, Adventure, and so forth. Each of the array's elements should be an array containing movie names, such as Alien, Terminator 3, Star Wars, and so on. When your arrays are created, loop through them, printing the name of each genre and its associated movie(s).


i cant get this to work... i dont know how to loop the damn thing :/

this is my code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Multidimensional Array..</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php

$movies = array(
"Science_Fiction" => array("The Alien", "I, Robot", "Armaggedon"),
"Action" => array("The Matrix", "Killer", "M-15"),
"Adventure" => array("Lord of The Rings", "The Hobbit", "Indiana Jhones")
);

?>

</body>
</html>


Anyone know how i would loop this and print all the values?

There are dozens of ways to do so.
Here is one:

foreach ($movies as $genre => $movielist) {
echo "Movies in Genre $genre:<br /><ul>"
foreach ($movielist as $movie) {
echo "<li>$movie</li>\n";
}
echo "</ul><br /><br />";
}

}


That outputted:

Movies in Genre Science_Fiction:

The Alien
I, Robot
Armaggedon


Movies in Genre Action:

The Matrix
Killer
M-15


Movies in Genre Adventure:

Lord of The Rings
The Hobbit
Indiana Jhones
