                    ?>

                    $cars = array("Volvo", "BMW", "Toyota");

                    for($x = 0; $x < $arrlength; $x++) {
                      echo $cars[$x];
                      echo "<br>";

                    foreach($age as $x => $x_value) {
                      echo "Key=" . $x . ", Value=" . $x_value;
                      echo "<br>";
