Can't get key name in multidimensional array

[dcnguyen]

I have an array like this:

Array
(
    [School Name Here ] => Array
        (
            [status] => private
            [Girl's Basketball] => Array
                (
                    [wins] => 16
                    [losses] => 10
                )

            [Baseball] => Array
                (
                    [wins] => 11
                    [losses] => 4
                )


        )
...more entries

}

What I want to do is iterate through the array and get the school name of each entry in this main array...but when I do this:

foreach($arr as $school=>$value){
	print_r(key($value));

}

I get 'status', which is the keyname of a property of the school...Am I using foreach wrong here?

If you want the school name, you do, indeed, want the key. But I don't know what you're trying to do with your invocation of key(). You have the key already from the line that reads

foreach($arr as $school=>$value){


This script:

<?php

$a = array
(
	'School Name Here' => Array
	(
		'status' => 'private',
		'Girl\'s Basketball' => Array
		(
			'wins' => 16,
			'losses' => 10
		),
		'Baseball' => Array
		(
			'wins' => 11,
			'losses' => 4
		)
	)
);

foreach ($a as $key => $school_data)
{
	print $key;
}
?>

Outputs:

[tt]School Name Here[/tt]

Thanks. As I thought...I didn't understand foreach completely...I thought $key (as you used it) was also an array. Doh.
