How to echo both the name and the value in an associative arrays

Question

I have the following code to find all the values of an array and echo them...

foreach($_POST as $result) {
     echo $result;
}

But I want to be able to find the name of the array item too such as...

foreach($_POST as $result) {
     echo "The value of $thing is $result";
}

Does this make any sense? Sorry

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Please take a look at the [documentation](http://www.php.net//manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php) before heading to Stackoverflow. — Jonast92, Jun 18 '14 at 15:29

This will put the array keys in $key and value in $value variables.

foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {
   echo "The value of $key is $value";
}

I'm assuming you mean the array key:

foreach($_POST as $thing => $result) {
     echo "The value of $thing is $result";
}
