Hey,
Arrays: A structure to store data
Example:
$example = array("value1", "value2", "value3);
echo $example[0]; // echos "value1"
echo $example[2]; // echos "value3"
Object: Something totally diffrent. A object is an instance of a class.
Contains variables and methods.
I don't know how you thought of using arrays or objects for the same
problem? Can you give an example?
Try this for arrays: http://de2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
You should look for "object-oriented programming" to understand what an
object is
Then you will get help here:
