So I'm trying to do this array but I have no clue on how it's done since I dident understand the documentation at all.

What I want to do is have an array with 4 values, the last value is going to be another array. like this Name > A name, Link > A link, Icon > Icon-name, Trigger > (1,2,3,4)

And I want to be able to store more of them in there. so I can do a foreach to get all the values out of it and make a row with it (gonna use this for a navigation bar).

  


$menu = array(
    array('name' => 'Home', 'link' => '/', 'icon' => 'fa fa-home', 'trigger' => array('Home')),
    array('name' => 'Shop', 'link' => '/shop', 'icon' => 'fa fa-shopping-cart', 'trigger' => array('Shop','Shop - Products'))
);

This is what I tryed, but I don't think it worked (or I'm doing it wrong)

Hope this will be helpfull: 

<?php

$menu = array(
    array('name' => 'Home', 'link' => '/', 'icon' => 'fa fa-home', 'trigger' => array('Home')), //$menuitem
    array('name' => 'Shop', 'link' => '/shop', 'icon' => 'fa fa-shopping-cart', 'trigger' => array('Shop','Shop - Products')) //$menuitem
);

foreach ($menu as $menuitem) {
	//First iteration
	//$menuitem['name'] = 'Home'
  	//$menuitem['link'] = '/'
	//$menuitem['trigger'][0] = 'Home'
  	//etc.
  
  	//Second iteration
  	//$menuitem['name'] = 'Shop'
  	//$menuitem['link'] = '/shop'
	//$menuitem['trigger'][0] = 'Shop'
  	//$menuitem['trigger'][1] = 'Shop - Products'
  	//etc.
  
    //or loop trough $menuitem['trigger']
  	foreach ($menuitem['trigger'] as $k => $value) {
    	//$k is the array index (0,1,2,etc)
      	//$value wil hold Home, Shop or Shop - Products
    }
}
?>

That doesent work, tho I figured it out now, just how to do the foreach I have no clue of now. $menu[0]['name'] returns Home, tho how I can get the [0]value in foreach I have no idea

why are you making a multidimensional array for an menu bar, whats the problem with  

<?php
	include "menubar.php";
?>

?

 

if you really want to do this method, you can take a look at http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_arrays_multi.asp

Thank you for that link, will look into this. I want to do this so I can make it easyer to make the navbar have active states without using java or some messy php code it will take time to add to later.

personally, i like to make an top.php and an footer.php like this

 

top.php 

<?php session_start(); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title></title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css">
	<script type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
	<div id="top">
		<div id="menu">
			<a href="index.php">HOME</a>
			<a href="guestbook.php">GUEST BOOK</a>
          	<?php //check if user is logged in
          		if(isset($_SESSION["username"]){
                  echo "<a href="forum.php">OUR SECRET FORUM</a>";
                } else {
                  echo "<a href="login.php">LOGIN</a>";
                }
          	?>
		</div>
	</div>

 

index.php 

<?php include "top.php" ?>

content here

<?php include "footer.html" ?>

 

footer.html 

	<div id="bottom">
		<h2>Footer</h2>
	</div>

</body></html>

 

i just seperate one php file into multiple files, so i can just copy the top and the bottom of the page. one change is easy done and can directly been seen on all pages this is included in. and the menubar is dynamic.
