how to output the array in php?

Array
(
   [menu-162] => Array
    (
        [attributes] => Array
            (
                [title] => example1
            )

        [href] => node/13
        [title] => test1
    )

[menu-219] => Array
    (
        [attributes] => Array
            (
                [title] => example2
            )

        [href] => node/30
        [title] => test2
    )

)

If I assign the above array to a variable named $hello, now, I want to use a loop only output the menu-162, menu-219.

If I want to only output the attributes title value, if I only want to output the href's value.

How do I write these loops?

foreach($hello as $key => $value) {
    switch($key) {
        case 'menu-162':
        case 'menu-219':
            if($value['href'] && $value['attribute'] && $value['attribute']['title']) {
                $href = $value['href'];
                $attr = $value['attribute']['title'];
            }
        break;
        default:
            continue; //didn't find it
        break;
    }
}

If you do not need the specific menu finding, remove the switch statement. If you do need the specific ids using this is the more scalable solution, and is faster than a nested if. It will also not create notices for variables that don't exist and will only return if both attribute title, and href exist.

You can access titles value within the attributes array like so: $hello['menu-162']['attributes']['title'] and for any other 'menu' you can substitute menu-162 with the appropriate menu-number combination. As for the href a simple $hello['menu-162']['href']

As for a loop to access both the values a simple foreach should suffice:

foreach($hello as $value) {
    echo $value['attributes']['title'];
    echo $value['href'];
}

foreach ($hello as $item) {
  $attr = $item['attributes']['title'];
  $href = $item['href'];
  echo "attr is {$attr}";
  echo "href is {$href}";
}

That should output the attr and href.
