Should I continue to other courses if I can't quite grasp all of this, I understand the functions and theory of the code she is using here, but I can't keep up with what's happening behind this code, there's just too many arrays, and we just keep moving the data from one array to another, I just lose track, should I rewatch this untill I totally get it?

I know some of the courses go from --- yeah, this makes complete sense --- to --- uhhhhh, what, now? ---- in just a sentence or two. Solidifying the concepts will help to build a good foundation and there's such a large and helpful community of PHP enthusiasts and developers on the web to help fill in any blanks along the way.

Courses Plus Student 12,884 PointsIt is always best to stick with something and figure it out so that it doesn't become a problem with future material. Try going back through the previous lessons leading up to the one you don't understand. Sometimes there is information that has been missed or misunderstood.
I found some courses and material that might help:
- https://teamtreehouse.com/library/php-arrays-and-control-structures
- https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_arrays.asp
- https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_arrays_sort.asp
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21805954/move-element-from-one-array-to-another
I hope this helps.

379 PointsThank you Tray :), I'll try to go back and figure it out.

379 PointsThanks for the encouraging words Matthew, after an hour or so I finally got it, I don't think I could be able to build an app like this from scratch on my own as of now, but hey! At least I can now fully understand what is happening behind the scenes and that's a start :)
