PHP6 - Arrays in PHP

Very well explained. Done

Done.

Completed!

I keep on getting this while doing the script 9 and a few others:
Their names are: Array Their nick names are: Bean
Their names are: Array Their nick names are: JJ
Their names are: Array Their nick names are: Monkey
Their names are: Array Their nick names are: Peanut
Their names are: Array Their nick names are: Steven

Why does it keep printing out "Array" when it is supposed to print out their names?

My code is as follows:

Language: PHP
<?php
//Sorting Arrays (Associative).
 
$n_names = array();
 
$n_name["Jasen"] = "JJ";
$n_name["Franky"] ="Peanut";
$n_name["Etienne"] = "Steven";
$n_name["Deany"] = "Monkey";
$n_name["Michelle"] = "Bean";
 
foreach ($n_name as $name => $nick_names){
print "Their names are:<br>".$n_name."Their nick names are:".$nick_names."<br>";
}
 
print "<P>";
 
asort ($n_name);
 
foreach ($n_name as $name => $nick_names){
print "Their names are:".$n_name."Their nick names are:".$nick_names."<br>";
}
 
?>

The answer lies here:

Language: PHP
foreach ($n_name as $name => $nick_names){

Think about what this line says, and what you are using..

Your problem is this:

Language: PHP
print "Their names are:<br>".$n_name."

You are using the wrong variable with $n_name

Language: PHP
foreach ($n_name as $name => $nick_names)

This line reads: foreach Array as key=> value, and you stored their names as the keys and their nicknames as values.

So with this line:

Language: PHP
print "Their names are:<br>".$n_name."Their nick names are:".$nick_names."<br>";

$n_name refers to your array, so it should be:

Language: PHP
print "Their names are:<br>".$name."Their nick names are:".$nick_names."<br>";

Why can't my other PHP-related course students not support one another as you guys do

Arrays are much easier than what I was expecting. Completed this section with awesomeness!

thanks guys! I've realized the mistake I made.

Share it....

The correction of what was my mistake in the first posted which was:
The Version with Errors:

Language: PHP
<?php
//Sorting Arrays (Associative).
 
$n_names = array();
 
$n_name["Jasen"] = "JJ";
$n_name["Franky"] ="Peanut";
$n_name["Etienne"] = "Steven";
$n_name["Deany"] = "Monkey";
$n_name["Michelle"] = "Bean";
 
foreach ($n_name as $name => $nick_names){
print "Their names are:<br>".$n_name."Their nick names are:".$nick_names."<br>";
}
 
print "<P>";
 
asort ($n_name);
 
foreach ($n_name as $name => $nick_names){
print "Their names are: ".$n_name."Their nick names are: ".$nick_names."<br>";
}
 
?>

Which Printed out:

Their names are:
ArrayTheir nick names are:JJ

Their names are:
ArrayTheir nick names areeanut
Their names are:


The Corrected Version:

Language: PHP
<?php
//Sorting Arrays (Associative).
 
$n_names = array();
 
$n_name["Jasen"] = "JJ";
$n_name["Franky"] ="Peanut";
$n_name["Etienne"] = "Steven";
$n_name["Deany"] = "Monkey";
$n_name["Michelle"] = "Bean";
 
foreach ($n_name as $name => $nick_name){
 
print "<br>Their names are: ".$name."<br>Their nick names are: ".$nick_name."<br>";
}
 
print "<P>";
 
asort ($n_name);
 
foreach ($n_name as $name => $nick_name){
print "<br>Their names are: ".$name."<br>Their nick names are: ".$nick_name."<br>";
}
 
?>

Which prints out:

Their names are:Jasen
Their nick names are:JJ

Their names are:Franky
Their nick names areeanut

etc...

and then sorted out:

Their names are: Michelle
Their nick names are: Bean

Their names are: Jasen
Their nick names are: JJ

etc...
