Hi from a recent PHP convert,
Having a heck of a time declaring and accessing 2 dimensional info in an array.
any input on where to start looking for the answer would be greatly appreciated.
I want to have a base array of 5 elements. The first 4 elements are variables, and the
fifth is an array of 2 elements.
seemed harmless enough at the time;)
Coding conventions suggest access to the first level of elements is:
$basearray[base_numerical_offset][$basearray_variable]
and this works great for accessing the first 4 elements of the base array.
Accessing the fifth elements' variables in the next dimension is where it fails for me:
$basearray[base_numerical_offset][$subarray][sub_numerical_offset][$subarray_variable]
The documentation/snippets/samples, etc. have been to no avail; still can't get to
elements in the
second dimension properly. Attempts to populate the second level array trahses the
entire structure.
I have the following declaration:
$out => array($name, $srch, $sel, $case, $qvalues => array($vals, $valtypes);
$out is the name of the base array
$qvalues is the name of the sub-array under the base array "$out"
I need for each $out array to consist of a name, srch, sel, case and then a variable
number of qvalues array elements that each have single vals and valtypes elements.
Use the following snippet to see what happens; it's not what I had hoped to see.
I hope I'm just doing something wrong..
Thanks, Ken.
