In PHP, both use the same amount of memory (very little, roughly two zval's and two HashTable's).I'm actually curious about the multidimensional arrays point. Exactly what do you mean? PHP can obviously do $a[1][2][3][4]... Maybe it has been fixed. Take this: $a[5][1000] and $b[1000][5] Which uses more memory? Even though, conceptually, they have the same number of elements, $b is FAR more inefficient.I am curious, besides some language quarks, like multidimentional arrays, what sorts of things can you do in Java which can not be done in PHP?
AFAIK there are no "multidimentional" arrays in PHP, but the ability to create arrays of arrays, which while similar in syntax, are different in implementation.Right. Zeev
