How to loop through a mulitdimensional array in php?

Question

array(2) {
    ["names"]=> array(4) { 
        [0]=> string(4) "Edit" 
        [1]=> string(6) "Delete" 
        [2]=> string(8) "Activate" 
        [3]=> string(10) "Deactivate"
    } 
    ["action"]=> array(4) { 
        [0]=> string(4) "ajax" 
        [1]=> string(4) "abc" 
        [2]=> string(4) "def" 
        [3]=> string(4) "xyz" 
    } 
}

How do i loop through this in a single foreach loop?

Looks like PHP? Which data do you want to iterate over? What is the result you want to get? — Felix Kling

ya..its php i want to get each and every value in this array — Rahul_2289

What's the exact end result you want? You can loop over this array in an infinite numbers of ways. Are you saying each key in names is associated with the corresponding key in action? What should the result be then? A new array? Just echo the values? — deceze

Assuming both arrays are of the same size and have the same keys:

foreach($array['names'] as $k => $name) {
    $action = $array['actions'][$k];
    // do whatever you want to do with $name and $action
}

$newArr = array();
foreach($data['names'] as $i => $val) {
   $newArr[$val] = $data['actions'][$i];
}

Or if you want a one liner at that

$newArr = array_combine($data['names'], $data['action']);

I guess the best way is a recursive function which can move through even three dimensions and more

function MoveThroughArray($arr)
{
    foreach($arr as $value)
    {
        if(is_array($value))
            MoveThroughArray($value);
        else
            // Do Something
    }
}
