That's really awkward for anyone to read. Help us to help you by formatting the array on multiple lines, indented, so we can see the data structure. – Utkanos Aug 24 '12 at 8:59
sorry for it.... – Suneth Kalhara Aug 24 '12 at 9:10
A fancy way to do it is writing a recursive function to perfrom the search. – thedethfox Aug 24 '12 at 9:35

Try this:

foreach( $result['entry'] as $entry ) {
    echo $entry['fullName'];
    echo $entry['email'];
    foreach( $entry['profileQuestions'] as $question ) {
        if( $question['answer']['question'] == 'Dating' ) {
            echo $question['answer']['answer'];
        }
    }
}

Have you tried nested foreach loops? I.e

foreach($arrays as $array)
 {
      foreach($array as $rows)
       {
         #print your rows here etc
       }
 }

What have you tried? Have you tried $data[0][email] to extract the email? Can you please provide a script snipper of how you are trying to access this data from inside the array? Thanks
