Extracting Subarray from a Multidimensional Array

[mlmurrah]

I have a multidimensional array for a calendar application as shown below.  The first level is an associative array for calendar dates, and the second is a numeric array for multiple events on each day.  The third level holds the events.  I know that I can extract a single event using the array indices, such as:

 

echo $events['2010-11-24'][0]['event_date'];

 

If I know the number of events for the date, I can extract them one-by-one by incrementing the array index.  However, I never know how many events will be stored for any one day.

 

I also know that I can extract all the data in the entire array using a foreach loop.  But how can I extract only the data in a subarray?

 

 

Array

(

    [2010-11-16] => Array

        (

            [0] => Array

                (

                    [event_date] => 2010-11-16

                    [title] => Board Meeting

                )

 

            [1] => Array

                (

                    [event_date] => 2010-11-16

                    [title] => Second event

                )

 

        )

 

    [2010-11-24] => Array

        (

            [0] => Array

                (

                    [event_date] => 2010-11-24

                    [title] => New meeting

                )

 

        )

 

)

if i understand you correctly:

 

foreach($events['2010-11-24'] as $event_id=>$event)
{
$date = $event['event_date'];
$title = $event['title'];
//....
}

Thanks, that did it.  Now to understand it.
