Get value of element in Multi-Dimensional Array
- by George
Here is my foreach loop to get at the values from a multi-dimensional array
$_coloredvariables = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_coloredvariables', true );
foreach ($_coloredvariables as $key => $value) {
var_dump($value);
}
Which outputs this:
array
'label' => string 'Color' (length=5)
'size' => string 'small' (length=5)
'displaytype' => string 'square' (length=6)
'values' =>
array
'dark-night-angel' =>
array
'type' => string 'Image' (length=5)
'color' => string '#2c4065' (length=7)
'image' => string '' (length=0)
'forest-green' =>
array
'type' => string 'Color' (length=5)
'color' => string '#285d5f' (length=7)
'image' => string '' (length=0)
'voilet' =>
array
'type' => string 'Color' (length=5)
'color' => string '#6539c9' (length=7)
'image' => string '' (length=0)
'canary-yellow' =>
array
'type' => string 'Color' (length=5)
'color' => string 'grey' (length=4)
'image' => string '' (length=0)
And then to only get the values array I can do this:
foreach ($_coloredvariables as $key => $value) {
var_dump($value['values']);
}
which outputs this:
array
'dark-night-angel' =>
array
'type' => string 'Image' (length=5)
'color' => string '#2c4065' (length=7)
'image' => string '' (length=0)
'forest-green' =>
array
'type' => string 'Color' (length=5)
'color' => string '#285d5f' (length=7)
'image' => string '' (length=0)
'voilet' =>
array
'type' => string 'Color' (length=5)
'color' => string '#6539c9' (length=7)
'image' => string '' (length=0)
'canary-yellow' =>
array
'type' => string 'Color' (length=5)
'color' => string 'grey' (length=4)
'image' => string '' (length=0)
What I can't figure out is how to get these elements in the array structure
"dark-night-angel",
"forest-green",
"voilet",
"canary-yellow"
Without using specific names:
var_dump($value['values']['dark-night-angel'])
Something that is more dynamic, of course this doesn't work:
var_dump($value['values'][0][0]);
thanks
