Print a key name of an associative array

<?php

$assoc_array = array("website"=>"Jaischool.com","hosting"=>"Siteground","plan"=>"GoGeek");

$array = array_keys($assoc_array);

echo $array[0];

?>

Print all keys name of an associative array by loop

To print all the key's names from an associative at once array you need to run a loop that will last till the length of the array. Use sizeof() function to get the length of the array.

<?php

$assoc_array = array("website"=>"Jaischool.com","hosting"=>"Siteground","plan"=>"GoGeek");

$array = array_keys($assoc_array);

$length = sizeof($assoc_array);

for($i=0;$i<$length;$i++)
	{
		echo $array[$i]."<br>";
	}
?>

Print all keys of an associative array by indexing number

<?php

$assoc_array = array("website"=>"Jaischool.com","hosting"=>"Siteground","plan"=>"GoGeek");

$array = array_keys($assoc_array);

echo $array[0]." = ".$assoc_array[$array[0]];

?>

Print all keys and their value from an associative array by loop

<?php

$assoc_array = array("website"=>"Jaischool.com","hosting"=>"Siteground","plan"=>"GoGeek");

$array = array_keys($assoc_array);

$length = sizeof($assoc_array);

for($i=0;$i<$length;$i++)
	{
		$index_num = $array[$i];
		echo $array[$i]." - ".$assoc_array[$index_num]."<br>";
