I have many array from ajax request and i get all of them in php what i did is i combine them and got the above result.My problem is i cant get all the value of the return invidually. How to convert the above array into like this below. So that i can get each value using the key example 

foreach ($material as $value) {
echo $value['wall 3rd Floor'];
}

Or if possible how to get all the value from first array like this echo $value['wall 3rd Floor'];

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [floor 1st Floor] => Reinforced Concrete
            [floor 2nd Floor] => Plain Cement
            [floor 3rd Floor] => Plain Cement
            [floor 3rd Floor] => Marble
            [floor 4th Floor] => Marble
            [floor 4th Floor] => Wood
            [floor 3rd Floor] => eqweqw
            [wall 1st Floor] => Reinforced Concrete
            [wall 2nd Floor] => Plain Cement
            [wall 4th Floor] => Plain Cement
            [wall 3rd Floor] => CHB
            [wall 3rd Floor] => ewqewqq
            [roof] => Tiles
            [roof] => qweqe
        )

)

i tried several approach like this one from here but i didnt get the desired output

for ($i = 0; $i <  count($array); $i++) {
    $key=key($array);
    $val=$array[$key];
    if ($val<> ' ') {
       echo $key ." = ".  $val ." <br> ";
       }
     next($array);
    }

Have you tried something like this: foreach(array as $key => $value) { echo $key ." = ". $value ."
"; }

You just need to double foreach() it:

$new = array();
foreach($data as $item) {
    foreach($item as $key => $value) {
        $new[$key] = $value;
    }
}

Then you can access it as you like:

echo $new['wall 3rd Floor'];

Example

Alternatively, if you want a shorter loop, you could do this via harnessing key() and current():

$new = array();
foreach($data as $item) {
    $new[key($item)] = current($item);
}

Example

Explanation

  • key() fetches the current key of the $item
  • current() fetches the current value of the $item
