RE: [PHP] Is there such an array like $array[][]?

1. there are no multi-dimensional arrays in php, just single dimension arrays each element of which may be an array (or any other variable type). If you make every element of an array an array of size x, you will get what can be used as a multi-dimensional array. But if you forget what it really is, you'll run into problems like expecting to be able to sort $array[$x][$y] by $y. 2. because of this you can have as many levels of an array as you want. try : $array[][][][] = "fred"; foreach($array as $level1) foreach($level1 as $level2) foreach($level2 as $level3) foreach($level3 as $value) echo($value); Tim Ward Senior Systems Engineer Please refer to the following disclaimer in respect of this message: http://www.stivesdirect.com/e-mail-disclaimer.html > -----Original Message----- > From: Plutarck [mailto:aemuli@spamclause-yahoo.com] > Sent: 17 April 2001 17:42 > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Is there such an array like $array[][]? > > > PHP can be a tad screwy with how it handles multi-dimensional > arrays, but > yes PHP handles them.
