Help with getting values of an array inside an array in a function.

I am trying to recode my HTML portfolio website into PHP based on the PHP lessons so far from treehouse. Basically, it retrieves all my portfolio item from an array and lists them out.

Here is how my code looks like portfolio.php alt text

** The function which will be called ** alt text

** The array which contains the project types ** alt text

** The array which contains the portfolio items ** alt text

My problem is that, I am using a filterable portfolio gallery and I need to load the project element into the function as a class in this html tag '<div class="six columns element">'

Simply put, I am trying to retrieve the values of the array in the $projects["projectType"] and put them into '<div class="six columns element ' . PUT HERE . '">'

The problem is that, there can be more than one project type, it can be just "web", or sometimes it can be "web graphic", the more project type it has, the bigger the project and it will stay throughout the filters.

Solved the problem by putting a foreach loop outside the $output = $output, just below the $output = ""

foreach ($project["projectType"] as $projectType) { 
    $theType = $projectType . " " . $theType;
}

Followed by displaying $theType to the element

Thank you Ryan! I spent a day figuring this out, only to solve it after I posted the question.
