Forget about the $cars array. The array "key" in the $models array will
be your car list.
$cars=array("ford","chevy");
$models=array("ford"=>array("ranger","escape"),"chevy"=>array("malibu","
tahoe"));
//Loop through first level of array, getting car maker
foreach($models as $carmaker=>$models) {
//Loop through car models, paring up with maker
foreach($models as $model) {
echo $carmaker.'-'.$model.'<br />';
}
}
Another option, which isn't as readable, is to use implode instead of
the inner loop.
$cars=array("ford","chevy");
$models=array("ford"=>array("ranger","escape"),"chevy"=>array("malibu","
tahoe"));
foreach($models as $car=>$models) {
$pairing = $car.'-'.implode('<br />'.$car.'-',$models).'<br />';
echo $pairing;
}
