Multidimensional Array

I want to create a multidimensional array of movies organized by genre. This should take the form of an associative array with genres as keys ("SF", "Action", "Romance", and so on). Each of this associative array's elements should be an array containing movie names ("2001", "Alien", "Terminator", and so on).
A Loop through the array , outputting each genre and its associated movies to the browser.

Also can mail me mazu@avasmail.com.mv

If u want to create this array:

Code:

<?php
$array = array("SF"=>array('film1', 'film2', 'film3', '...'), 'Action'=>array('film1', 'film2', 'film3', '...'));
?>

and then you can output it using this:

Code:

<?php
foreach($array as $key=>$cat) {
    echo '<B>' . $key . '</b><br />';
    foreach($array[$key] as $movie) {
        echo '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;--' . $movie . ',<br />';
    }
}
?>

Hi, thanx. I also found one some time back

$movies= array(
 array( name=>"Sci Fixtion",
 one=> "Matrix",
 two=> "Testube"),
 array( name=>"Action",
 two=> "America Black Jangiya",
 three=> "Flying Kik"),
 array( name=>"Comedy",
 one=> "Gods must be crazy",
 two=> "Sponge Bob"));

print "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WATCH MOVIES LIKE NEVER BEFORE ";

foreach ($movies as $num)
{
 foreach ($num as $name => $title)
 {
 print"$title ";
 }
 print " ";
}

Need to download code?
