if i do a foreach i get the first loop is all the product_id and i need the names to be printed also....any ideas

Answer 1

For ease of explanation, let's set:

$product_id = $myarray['product_id'];
$product_name = $myarray['product_name'];

As long as you're sure that $product_id and $product_name have the same keys (and it looks like they do), you can make your loop like this:

foreach ($product_id as $i => $id) {
  $name = $product_name[$i];
     .
     .
     .
 }

Answer 2

foreach($array['product_id'] as $k=>$v){
    echo $v." - ".$array['product_name'][$k];
}

This will echo out the product id, followed by the corresponding product name. You can change that to do what you like but the important values are there.

Answer 3

foreach($array['product_id'] as $key => $prodid) {
  $prodname = $array['product_name'][$key];

  //do what you want with $prodid and $prodname here
}
