How can PHP arrays be utilized effectively to organize and display recipe data in a clear and structured manner?

To organize and display recipe data effectively using PHP arrays, you can create a multidimensional array where each recipe is represented by an array containing key-value pairs for different attributes such as name, ingredients, and instructions. You can then loop through the array to display each recipe in a structured manner on a webpage. 

<?php
// Define a multidimensional array to store recipe data
$recipes = array(
    array(
        'name' => 'Pasta Carbonara',
        'ingredients' => array('spaghetti', 'eggs', 'bacon', 'parmesan cheese'),
        'instructions' => 'Cook spaghetti, fry bacon, mix eggs and cheese, combine all ingredients.'
    ),
    array(
        'name' => 'Chicken Stir-Fry',
        'ingredients' => array('chicken breast', 'bell peppers', 'onions', 'soy sauce'),
        'instructions' => 'Stir-fry chicken and vegetables, add soy sauce, cook until done.'
    )
);

// Loop through the array to display each recipe
foreach ($recipes as $recipe) {
    echo '<h2>' . $recipe['name'] . '</h2>';
    echo '<ul>';
    echo '<li><strong>Ingredients:</strong> ' . implode(', ', $recipe['ingredients']) . '</li>';
    echo '<li><strong>Instructions:</strong> ' . $recipe['instructions'] . '</li>';
    echo '</ul>';
}
?>
