3pod PHP Learning
$a["foo"][2] = $f; # (you can mix numeric and associa-tive
indices)
$a[3]["bar"] = $f; # (you can mix numeric and associa-tive
indices)
$a["foo"][4]["bar"][0] = $f; # four dimensional!
You can "fill up" multi-dimensional arrays in many ways, but the trickiest one to understand is how to
use the array command for associative arrays. These two snippets of code fill up the one-dimensional
array in the same way:
# Example 1:
$a["color"] = "red";
$a["taste"] = "sweet";
$a["shape"] = "round";
$a["name (exp 3pod.com)"] = "apple";
$a[3] = 4;
# Example 2:
$a = array(
"color" => "red",
"taste" => "sweet",
"shape" => "round",
"name (exp 3pod.com)" => "apple",
3 =>4
);
The array function can be nested for multi-dimensional arrays:
<?
$a = array(
"apple" => array(
"color" => "red",
"taste" => "sweet",
"shape" => "round"
),
"orange" => array(
"color" => "orange",
"taste" => "sweet",
"shape" => "round"
),
"banana" => array(
