I have an associative array that I am using foreach to loop thru. In deciding whether or not to display portions of a row, I want to look at the previous row's contents and only display if the contents is different.

Below is an example:
I have the following associative array:
Array(
[0] => Array(
[Player] => Dave
[Type] => Cell
[Number] => 665-123-1234
)
[1] => Array(
[Player] => Dave
[Type] = >Home
[Number => 665-124-2234
)
[2] => Array(
[Player] => Joe
[Type] => Cell
[Number] => 665-321-4325
)
[3] => Array(
[Player] => Joe
[Type] => Home
[Number] => 665-333-1234
)
)
I want Dave's name to display for row [0] because it is the first time it apperars. Then for row [1], I don't want to display his name because it is the same as row [0]. Then for row [2], since row [2]'s name is different than row[1], I want to display Joe's name. Then on row [3], I don't want to dispay Joe's name since it is the same as row [2].

Is there a way to do this in a foreach loop?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I figured it out, but it could not be done using foreach. I had to use the section tag instead. Section allows me to use prev_index to compare the previous contents versus the current index contents.

This works great!

Could you explain how you solved this?

I've a similar problem and don't know how to solve it.
