Push associated variables into array in PHP
Question by Dev Newb
I have a loop and each time the loop runs I need to add two variables to an array. What I am trying right now is:
$attach_array['outline'] = array();
foreach ($_POST['attachment'] as $key => $value) {
$attachmentName = $value['name'];
$path = "1";
$name = "alsdkjf";
$attach_array['outline']['path']=$path;
$attach_array['outline']['name']=$name;
}
Then later in the script I try to get these values out for PHPMAILER:
foreach ($attach_array['outline'] as $key => $value) {
$mail->AddAttachment($value['path'], $value['name']);
}
This and other attempts are not working so I’m hoping for some help on putting $name and $path into an array in my first loop to use later.

You are overriding the same variables on each loop. You should do something like this:
$attach_array['outline'][] = array('path' => $path, 'name' => $name);
By doing this, now all the path and values will remain on the array as separate items. You dont have to change the code you are using it from.
