When my brain starts to hurt, I like to do a:
foreach ($myarray as $key=>$value){
echo "KEY: $key - VALUE: $value<br>";
}

for 2 dimensional arrays - which often helps me see what's going on.

3 dimensional ones - now that's where the fun really starts! You can
even mix associative with scalar:
$array['age'][7] etc!
