RE: [PHP] Assistance Please - Two-Dimension Arrays

2001-09-24 Thread Tim Ward

 Congratulations. You just described a multidimensional array :-) 

No he didn't ... a 2 dimensional array would have a set 2 dimensional
structure. Each row would have to have the same number of columns. An array
of arrays may be built in such a way as to be able to be presented as if it
were a 2d array but IT ISN'T. It cannot be manipulated as if it were.
$element[0][id] and $element[1][id] are NOT members of the same array.

 PHP, at this point, does not support MultiDimension arrays.
However,
 you can get around this by placing array's inside arrays.

 Thus:

 $myarray[0] = array(element00, element01,element02);
 $myarray[1] = array(element10, element11,element12);
 $myarray[2] = array(element20, element21,element22);

 You would refrence element11 by
 $myarray[1][1];

If you see it that way, PHP doesn't even have single-dimensional arrays 
(because all arrays are associative).

fair point, ... but you can manipulate them as if they were. This isn't the
case with arrays of arrays and multi-d arrays.

Mark,

Hope it helps!

I'm trying to fill information that i read out of files into a 2 dimensional
array.
My main problem (i think) is that i dont know how to declare a 2 dimensional
array prior to adding parts to it.
Especially since the size of each internal array and the external array are
all picked up from the files and read as strings - i'm not sure how to
convert these to ints.

I don't know how to test if the data is beign stored in the array because
when i come out of the entry loop, the count() size of the array is 0.

I'm very new at this so any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
