print_r() question

[Logikos]

PHP Code:

print "<pre>";
print_r($rss_array);
print "</pre>"; 


The output of that is;

Array
(
    [items] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [title] => Users online gets messed up with weird names
                    [link] => http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...view&bugid=907
                    [description] => Type: Unknown/General

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [title] =>  tag bug
                    [link] => http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...view&bugid=917

        )

    [channel] => Array
        (
            [title] => vBulletin 3.5 Bug Tracker
        )

)

Now what variable holds the information to show the title and description? I've read the PHP manual and they say;

PHP Code:

$b = array ('m' => 'monkey', 'foo' => 'bar', 'x' => array ('x', 'y', 'z'));
$results = print_r($b, true); //$results now contains output from print_r 


But I don't quite get it. Any help? Thanks!

PHP Code:

foreach ($rss_array['items'] AS $item)
{
echo "Title: $item[title], Description: $item[description]<br />";
}

Thank you my friend.

From the snippet you posted, the manual likely is suggesting output buffering through the functions ob_start(), ob_get_contents(), and ob_end_clean().
