    <p>I've been studying some test questions. One of the questions about array iteration. Here it is : </p> <blockquote> <p>What is the best way to iterate through the $myarray array, assuming you want to modify the value of each element as you do?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $myarray = array ("My String", "Another String", "Hi, Mom!"); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>A. Using a for loop</p> <p>B. Using a foreach loop</p> <p>C. Using a while loop</p> <p>D. Using a do…while loop</p> <p>E. There is no way to accomplish this goals</p> </blockquote> <p>My answer is "of course foreach loop". But according to the answer sheet :</p> <blockquote> <p>Normally, the foreach statement is the most appropriate construct for iterating through an array. However, because we are being asked to modify each element in the array, this option is not available, since foreach works on a copy of the array and would therefore result in added overhead. Although a while loop or a do…while loop might work, because the array is sequentially indexed a for statement is best suited for the task, making Answer A correct.</p> </blockquote> <p>I still think foreach is the best. And as long as I use it with key I can modify values.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php foreach($myarray as $k=&gt;$v){ $myarray[$k] = "Modified ".$v; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Do I miss something?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
