output php multi-dimensional array

I've tried to create a multi dimensional array (see below) but I'm having trouble outputting it.

Array ( [prods] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Polo X [1] => [2] => [3] => [4] => [5] => ) ) [sizes] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => S [1] => [2] => [3] => [4] => [5] => ) ) [qtys] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 9 [1] => [2] => [3] => [4] => [5] => ) ) [totals] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 876 [1] => 876 [2] => 876 [3] => 876 [4] => 876 [5] => 876 ) ) )

I created it as follows (where $errorProds is an array)
            $errorStocks = array(
            "prods"=>array($errorProds),
            "sizes"=>array($errorSizes),
            "qtys"=>array($errorQtys),
            "totals"=>array($errorStocks))      ;

I'd like to output it as a list
prods1, sizes1, qtys1, totals1
prods2, sizes2, qtys2, totals2
etc...

thanks

Hi,
can you tell me how I could create the array better.

I have a function that generates four arrays or lists of data that I want to return to the calling routine.

I'm much rather take more time to pass the content from the function to the routine in the most efficient way

thanks

"can you tell me how I could create the array better."

I am not sure what you mean by this. The method you are using is OK, I just found it a little odd that you had an "array of an array of arrays" rather than the simpler "array of arrays".

My own preference would be to create a small class just to hold the data and then build an array of class objects which I would then pass to the output function, but that is really a whole separate question and completely invalidates the answer to this question.

It is not that hard to do. I have an EE article that shows the outlines of it and if you want to post a sepearte question on it then I will show you how to approach it for this specific problem
