I've just begun learning php and this is my first time encountering associative arrays. I'm trying to echo a specific value from the innermost array but failing to do so.
This is my array -
define('TAX_RATES', array(
'Single' => array(
'Rates' => array(10,12,22,24,32,35,37),
'Ranges' => array(0,9700,39475,84200,160725,204100,510300),
'MinTax' => array(0, 970,4543,14382,32748,46628,153798)
),
'Married_Jointly' => array(
'Rates' => array(10,12,22,24,32,35,37),
'Ranges' => array(0,19400,78950,168400,321450,408200,612350),
'MinTax' => array(0, 1940,9086,28765,65497,93257,164709)
),
'Married_Separately' => array(
'Rates' => array(10,12,22,24,32,35,37),
'Ranges' => array(0,9700,39475,84200,160725,204100,306175),
'MinTax' => array(0, 970,4543,14382.50,32748.50,46628.50,82354.75)
),
'Head_Household' => array(
'Rates' => array(10,12,22,24,32,35,37),
'Ranges' => array(0,13850,52850,84200,160700,204100,510300),
'MinTax' => array(0, 1385,6065,12962,31322,45210,152380)
)
)
);
I have to run a foreach loop to loop through the 'Single', 'Married_Jointly' etc. statuses to output the first row and then a for loop to output the rest of the rows. The output should look like:
Single
Taxable Income Tax Rate
$0 - $9700 10%
$9701 - $39475 $970 12%
.....
Married_Jointly
Taxable Income Tax Rate
$0 - $19400 10%
$19401 - $78950 $1940 12%
.....
Code I've tried so far:
$keys = array_keys(TAX_RATES);
for($i = 0; $i < count(TAX_RATES); $i ){
echo $keys[$i] . "<br>";
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<th> Taxable Income </th>";
echo "<th> Tax Rate </th>";
echo "</tr>";
foreach(TAX_RATES[$keys[$i]] as $key => $value){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td> $0 - $value[1] </td>";
echo "<td> $value[0]% </td>";
echo "</table> <br>";
}
}
This is the result I'm getting -
Single
Taxable Income Tax Rate
$0 - $12 10%
$0 - $9700 0%
....
Married_Jointly
Taxable Income Tax Rate
$0 - $12 10%
$0 - $19400 0%
.....
I'm having a tough time iterating over a complex associative array like this, any help would be appreciated.

I recommend breaking up your table generating into its repeatable parts. Separating your business logic from your presentation is a great way to improve readability and maintainability.
Create template strings and fill them with data as you iterate.
I'd probably pretty up the array declaration for easier "eyeballing".
define('TAX_RATES', [
'Single' => [
'Ranges' => [0, 9700, 39475, 84200, 160725, 204100, 510300],
'MinTax' => [0, 970, 4543, 14382, 32748, 46628, 153798],
'Rates' => [10, 12, 22, 24, 32, 35, 37],
],
'Married_Jointly' => [
'Ranges' => [0, 19400, 78950, 168400, 321450, 408200, 612350],
'MinTax' => [0, 1940, 9086, 28765, 65497, 93257, 164709],
'Rates' => [10, 12, 22, 24, 32, 35, 37],
],
'Married_Separately' => [
'Ranges' => [0, 9700, 39475, 84200, 160725, 204100, 306175],
'MinTax' => [0, 970, 4543, 14382.50, 32748.50, 46628.50, 82354.75],
'Rates' => [10, 12, 22, 24, 32, 35, 37],
],
'Head_Household' => [
'Ranges' => [0, 13850, 52850, 84200, 160700, 204100, 510300],
'MinTax' => [0, 1385, 6065, 12962, 31322, 45210, 152380],
'Rates' => [10, 12, 22, 24, 32, 35, 37],
]
]);
Code: (Demo -- click the eye icon to see the rendered html)
$tableTemplate = <<<TABLE
<h2>%s</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Taxable Income</th>
<th>Tax Rate</th>
</tr>
%s
</table>
TABLE;
$rowTemplate = <<<ROW
<tr>
<td>%s</td>
<td>%s%d%%</td>
</tr>
ROW;
foreach (TAX_RATES as $status => $data) {
$rows = [];
$count = count($data['Rates']);
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i) {
$rows[] = sprintf(
$rowTemplate,
isset($data['Ranges'][$i 1])
? '$' . number_format($data['Ranges'][$i] ($i ? 1 : 0)) . ' - $' . number_format($data['Ranges'][$i 1])
: "> $" . number_format($data['Ranges'][$i]),
$data['MinTax'][$i] ? '$' . number_format($data['MinTax'][$i], 2) . ' ' : '',
$data['Rates'][$i]
);
}
printf($tableTemplate, $status, implode("\n", $rows));
}
Notice that a literal % in the template strings must be "escaped" by another %. Otherwise, mark variable strings as %s, variable integers as %d, and floats as %f. This is a basic rundown, but there are more formatting features that you can enjoy with the printf() family of functions. (sprintf() is the "silent" version of printf() that just returns its payload instead of printing it.)
Add money formatting as you wish.
