I have a Multidimensional Associative Array containing a parent page with a position number related to each subpage. I am trying to save time by dynamically running through each array to write the same line of code for each subpage.

$page = array(
                "content" => array(0, 3, 1, 2),
                "users" => array(17, 5, 16),
                "settings" => array(5, 15, 10)
                );

    foreach ($page as $parent => $ary){
        foreach ($ary as $position){
            $return = $submenu[$parent][$position]; 
        }
    }

I need it to output the following:

$submenu['content'][0];
$submenu['content'][3];
$submenu['content'][1];
$submenu['content'][2];
$submenu['users'][17];
$submenu['users'][5];
$submenu['users'][16];
$submenu['settings'][5];
$submenu['settings'][15];
$submenu['settings'][10];

Everything I have found regarding multidimentional arrays involves a nesting foreach loops but that doesn’t get the proper result. I am fairly new to PHP but from what I can tell, it appears that when nesting foreach loops the initial $parent key from the first loop becomes inaccessible to the second loop.

One thought I had was to create one long combined array, but it just returns [0] => array() [1] => array() I can’t seem to figure it out. Any help is appreciated, thank you

I tried with something like this:

foreach ($page as $parent => $ary){
        $bigarray = array($parent => $ary)
        foreach ($bigarray as $parent => $position){
            $return = $submenu[$parent][$position]; 
        }
    }
