i am writing this code but getting this error on browser:

error : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$food' (T_VARIABLE), expecting '(' in C:\xampp\htdocs\foreach.php on line 2

Answer 1

Remove array at the starting and also there is missing single quote before Pasta.

Try this

<?php

    $food = array(
              'healthy'=> array('Salad', 'Vege', 'Pasta'),
              'unhealthy'=> array('pizza', 'icecream')
            );

    echo $food['unhealthy'][1];

?>
