PHP Array Exercises : Displays array keys and values

PHP Array: Exercise-3 with Solution

$ceu = array( "Italy"=>"Rome", "Luxembourg"=>"Luxembourg", "Belgium"=> "Brussels", "Denmark"=>"Copenhagen", "Finland"=>"Helsinki", "France" => "Paris", "Slovakia"=>"Bratislava", "Slovenia"=>"Ljubljana", "Germany" => "Berlin", "Greece" => "Athens", "Ireland"=>"Dublin", "Netherlands"=>"Amsterdam", "Portugal"=>"Lisbon", "Spain"=>"Madrid", "Sweden"=>"Stockholm", "United Kingdom"=>"London", "Cyprus"=>"Nicosia", "Lithuania"=>"Vilnius", "Czech Republic"=>"Prague", "Estonia"=>"Tallin", "Hungary"=>"Budapest", "Latvia"=>"Riga", "Malta"=>"Valetta", "Austria" => "Vienna", "Poland"=>"Warsaw") ;

Create a PHP script which displays the capital and country name from the above array $ceu. Sort the list by the name of the capital.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Define an associative array with countries as keys and capitals as values
$ceu = array(
    "Italy" => "Rome", "Luxembourg" => "Luxembourg",
    "Belgium" => "Brussels", "Denmark" => "Copenhagen",
    "Finland" => "Helsinki", "France" => "Paris",
    "Slovakia" => "Bratislava", "Slovenia" => "Ljubljana",
    "Germany" => "Berlin", "Greece" => "Athens",
    "Ireland" => "Dublin", "Netherlands" => "Amsterdam",
    "Portugal" => "Lisbon", "Spain" => "Madrid",
    "Sweden" => "Stockholm", "United Kingdom" => "London",
    "Cyprus" => "Nicosia", "Lithuania" => "Vilnius",
    "Czech Republic" => "Prague", "Estonia" => "Tallin",
    "Hungary" => "Budapest", "Latvia" => "Riga",
    "Malta" => "Valetta", "Austria" => "Vienna",
    "Poland" => "Warsaw"
);

// Sort the associative array by values (capitals) in ascending order
asort($ceu);

// Iterate through the sorted array and echo the country and its capital
foreach ($ceu as $country => $capital) {
    echo "The capital of $country is $capital" . "\n";
}
?>

Output:

The capital of Netherlands is Amsterdam
