Re: returning an array

<?php // First, create an array. Here are two ways : // first method : $array = array('a' => 33,'b' => 99,'c' => 383); // another method : $array[a] = 33; $array[b] = 99; $array[c] = 383; // Those are identical. Next, let's print all of them. foreach ($array as $key => $value) { print "<br>$key equals $value \n"; } // That will print them all. Now, let's say you wanted : // $a = 33 , $b = 99 and $c = 383 // Then do this : extract($array); // This will print 33 print $a; ?> Of course this does not explain everything about arrays but I think it refers to your question.
