Bug description: Interpretation of the term "multi-dimensional array"
Hello
I think the term "multi-dimensional array" might be misleading for some
people. Wouldn't "nested array" be more precise?
Look at the following sample:
$myArray = array(
"A"=>Array("1"=>"test","2"=>"test","3"=>"test"),
"B"=>Array("1"=>"test","2"=>"test","3"=>"test"),
"C"=>Array("1"=>"test","2"=>"test","3"=>"test"));
In this sample I can "unset($myArray["B"])" which deletes a elements
associated with the key "B", but there is no function to delete all
elements which are associated with the key "2" in one step. I have to go
through all the elements of the ABC-Array and delete each "2"-Element
seperatly.
In a multi-dimensional array you could delete (and add)Elements in both
dimensions without having to loop through the nested arrays.
PS: I very much like the way PHP organizes Arrays, don't change it. It is
just the term that confuses me.
With Regards
Kristian
