How best to print an array to table?

Ok so here's the quick and dirt simple code: <?php $Alist=array ( "cover"=>"images/A/A001.jpg", "aname"=>"The A Team", "bname"=>"An Empty Glass", "artist"=>"SSgt Barry Sadler", "avideo"=>"A", "bvideo"=>"b", "label1"=>"[US] RCA Victor", "label2"=>"UK] RCA", "adate"=>"4-23-66" ); print "<table border='1'>"; print "<tr>"; print "<td>hello</td>"; print "</tr>"; print "</table>"; ?> I want to replace "hello" with $Alist "aname". How is that done correctly in this instance?

I think I've found the way to do this. http://1littleworld.net/sample/test2a.php

The code suggested will work if you type it correctly. If you don't type it correctly, eg miss out or change bits, it won't work. Note for example, that: The normal use may be $array["key"] or $array['key'] To be used inside a string delimited with "" needs the use of of '' for the array key: $array['key'] the whole $array['key'] has to be enclosed in the curly brackets: {$array['key']} Then it can be included in a string that is enclosed in double quotes: print "{$array['key']}"; which can also include other text: print "<td>{$array['key']}</td>"; Which bit did you fuck up? No $ symbol? Didn't use the curly brackets? Put the curly brackets in the wrong places? Used the same quotes for the array key as the string? Got the array name or key name wrong? Here's an example of it working: http://www.sined.co.uk/tmp/array_print.php Using this php (irrelevant bits snipped): $array = array( "cold"=>"penguin" ); $content .= "<p>The value of \"{\$array['cold']}\" is: \"{$array['cold']} \"</p>"; Rgds Denis McMahon

No he doesn't. He thinks that we see all his php, and not just the result of that php. This is because he once opened a php file locally in his browser instead of using the url for his server, and thus saw the raw php. He then decided that the server sends the php to the browser, and despite being told many times that he is wrong about this, has never accepted it. I note that he is claiming that Micha's code was wrong, which it wasn't, so he obviously messed up the application of Micha's example, but he won't admit that, he'll just assert that Micha's example was wrong (It's not, I've used it here <http://www.sined.co.uk/tmp/micha.php>) by substituting Micha's code into his own table and that he has invented his own solution instead.

Of course he doesn't. This is RtS after all. Soon he willtell you that it is your fault that yo cannot see his code, because you did it wrong.
