php associative array name?

Question

Just trying to get the name of an assoc array;

$test = array('selected' =>$selected, 'sectionList'=>$sectionList, 'categoryList'=>$categoryList);
<? foreach($test as $list) { ?>
<h3><?=$list?>, <?=$list[id]?>, <?=$list['name']?>, <?=$list['value']?></h3>
<? } ?>

but either get 'Array' or nothing?! I can see the name when i print_r($test);

Do you think this is possible? Thanks in advance, D.

Use the syntax foreach ($array as $key => $value) to also get the key when iterating an array.
