dump array in php, how to retrieve the value from array

Question

var_dump($products);

Output: array(7) { [0]=> array(5) { ["Product"]=> array(40) { ["id"]=> string(3) "726" ["wbb"]=> string(1) "1" ["abb"]=> string(1) "0" }

But when I do var_dump($products['Product']['wbb']); it gives me NULL

How I will use the value of ["wbb"]

if(!empty($product)) :

If i dump $product, it gives me different products with details of each product.
Simple output of one product when I dump $product

array(7) { [0]=> array(5) { ["Product"]=> array(40) { ["id"]=> string(3) "726" ["wbb"]=> string(1) "1" ["abb"]=> string(1) "0" }

{ [1]=> array(5) { ["Product"]=> array(40) { ["id"]=> string(3) "727" ["wbb"]=> string(1) "0" ["abb"]=> string(1) "1" }

Similarly I have 10 more products with some of them are wbb = 1 and some of them are abb =1. I want to add tooltip according to the flag raised. But when I do like this $i++;

if(!empty($product[$i]['Product']['wbb'])){ echo code here.....}

becuase it iterates, so it will not give me according to exact product. How should I have to do it?

And where does the $product variable come from? Do you foreach over your $products? Please share all relevant code, otherwise we can't help you! — Oldskool

It looks like you should be using var_dump($products[0]['Product']['wbb']);

If you look closely you will notice that the $products array is a multidimensional array, holding a numeric key for each data row (starting at 0). Any additional rows will get 1, 2 and so on. In order to get the mentioned wbb value of the first (and apparently only) row, use

var_dump($products[0]['Product']['wbb']);

Instead.

@AbrarKiyani In that case you have not shown us all your code. If I recreate the array as you pasted it and use the variable above, this code example outputs WBB is 1, as would be expected: gist.github.com/oldskool/5144154

$products is an array of multiple products. You should use:

var_dump($products[0]['Product']['wbb']);

And what would you call $products if the [0] key wasn't there? It's still an array regardless, this one is just multidimensional and numerically indexed per result row.
