Your $categoryarry is a 2d array, try :
print_r($categoryarry);
But, I think you want to do :
$categories = array('Sasheen','Tom','Fred');
Now, if you do this :
while(list($key,$value) = each($categories)) {
print "$key : $value\n";
}
You'll get :
0 : Sasheen
1 : Tom
2 : Fred
Could also define your array like so :
$categories = array('a' => 'foo', 'b' => 'bar');
Which, if run through our loop above, will give us :
a : foo
b : bar
See? Play with it a bit, it'll start to make more and more sense.
