set key and values on array

Question by user983248

I have on array like:
$myarray = array("color", "red", "size", "big", "flavor", "bitter"); where color, size and flavor are the keys and the other are the values. How can I loop true the values only on the array.

I have a few arrays like that one so I only need to create a table and display their values like:

<table>
 <thead>
  <tr>
   <th>Color</th>
   <th>Size</th>
   <th>Flavor</th>
  </tr>
 </thead>
 <tbody>
       // I'm stuck here because I don't know how to get the values of each array
 </tbody>
</table>

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

while (list(, $key) = each($array)) {
    $value = current($array);
    next($array);

    echo $key, ': ', $value, PHP_EOL;
}

But yes, you should really use a proper associative array instead of this makeshift solution.

Answer by Starx

You are defining array incorrectly.

$myarray=array(
    'color'=>'red',
    'size'=>'big',
    'flavor'=>'bitter'
);

Then use it with foreach

foreach($myarray as $key => $value) {
   echo $key; //echoes the indexes like color
   echo $value; //echoes values like red
}
