I am struggling with a code challenge and I need help with php basics foreach loops. Can any one point me in the right direction without giving me the answer outright?
<?php
$names = array('Mike', 'Chris', 'Jane', 'Bob');
foreach ( array as $names ) {
}
?>

The foreach loop works as follows:
foreach($arrayname as $arrayvalue) {
}
$arrayname is the variable of the array you wnna loop trough. So this could be $names in your code.
The $arrayvalue can have any variable name you would like and is used inside your foreach() { 'in here' } tags.
So for example:
$names = array('John', 'Mary', 'Timothy', 'Jax');
foreach($names as $name) {
echo $name;
}
This will echo out all name's inside the $names array.
I hope you get whats going on. Else just ask what part you dont understand :)
