Try like

 echo '<input type="button" id= "'.$unconfirm_city['name'].'" value="Accept" class="mybut btn btn-info btn-mini" style="">';

You forgot to escape the quotes, so $unconfirm_city is considered as string rather than variable by PHP.

Replace following line in your code,

echo '<input type="button" id= "$unconfirm_city[name]" value="Accept" class="mybut btn btn-info btn-mini" style="">';

by,

echo "<input type=\"button\" id=\"".$unconfirm_city['name']."\" value=\"Accept\" class=\"mybut btn btn-info btn-mini\" style=\"\">";

Try this:

<?php  
 if ($unconfirmed_cities) {  
        foreach ($unconfirmed_cities as $unconfirmed_city) {  
         echo '<div>';  
 echo "$unconfirmed_city[name]";  
 echo '<input type=\'button\' id= \''.$unconfirm_city[name].'\' value=\'Accept\' class=\'mybut btn btn-info btn-mini\' style=\'\'>';  
echo '</div>';  
} 

?>

Note: In \', (slash) is used as an escape sequence.

You have a lot of typo on your code. Try this way

<?php
if ($unconfirmed_cities) {
foreach ($unconfirmed_cities as $unconfirmed_city) {
    echo '<div>';
    echo $unconfirmed_city[name];
    echo '<input type="button" id= '.$unconfirmed_city[name].'" value="Accept" class="mybut btn btn-info btn-mini" style="">';
}
