Re: array_push in array maps

Jonas - what do you mean 'it doesn't work' (it's like me saying 'the ATM doesn't work and forgetting to mention I'm trying to withdraw 10,000,000 disney dollars - when I mention that fact the reason is probably obvious to you why it doesn't work) Brad Bonkoski wrote:

What kind of values are stored in $row[2] and $row[5]? You might need to keep the single quotes.... $test['$row[2]'] = $row[5];

no this is wrong, unless you want the array key in this case to be the *exact* *literal* string '$row[2]' - which is unlikely. Jonas do the following (in the relevant place in your code) and see what is in $row: var_dump($row);

There's allways mutch to learn. :-) I'm very happy for all help I can get. I ran into another problem when trying to insert a value. I had no problem with: $test['something'] = '2500'; But when I want to have a value from a special column i a row the followint doesn't work: $test[$row[2]] = $row[5]; Or: $test[$row(2)] = $row[5]; Do I need to do some kind of concatenating?

Need solve another case regarding array maps. Is it possible to insert more

Jonas - in php we just call these things arrays (no 'map') - the array datatype in php is a mash up (and we love it :-) of the 'oldschool' numerically indexed array and what is commonly known as a hash (or arraymap) - you can mix numeric and associative indexes freely (that might seem odd and/or bad when coming from another language but it really is fantastic once you get your head round it).

values like with array_push in arrays as bellow? $colors = array(

             'red' => '#ff0000',
             'green' => 'X00ff00',
             'blue' => '#0000ff'
          );

sure: $colors['grey'] = '#dedede'; the position of the 'inserted' (actually appended) is often not important - if it is there are plenty of functions that allow you to manipulate arrays in more a complex fashion e.g. array_splice(). and all sorts of sorting functions are also available e.g. asort(). check out the vast number of array related function and introductory texts here: http://php.net/array http://php.net/manual/language.types.array.php
