PHP Arrays
What is an Array?
 Arrays are complex variables that allow us to store
more than one value or a group of values under a
single variable name.
 An array is a special variable, which can hold more
than one value at a time.
Types of Array in PHP
• Indexed array — An array with a numeric key.
• Associative array — An array where each key has its
own specific value.
• Multidimensional array — An array containing one
or more arrays within itself.

Syntax: array();
Indexed Array
 An indexed or numeric array stores each array element with a
numeric index.
 Example #1:
Php Script Output

<?php
$teams = array("Nuggets", "Lakers", "Bulls", "Bucks");
// Printing array structure
print_r($teams);
?>
Indexed Array
 Example #2:
Php Script Output

<?php
$teams[0] = “Nuggets";
$teams[1] = “Lakers";
$teams[2] = “Bulls";
$teams[3] = “Bucks";

// Printing array structure


print_r($teams);
?>
print_r in PHP
• print_r — Prints human-readable information about a variable
Description:
print_r(mixed $value, bool $return = false): string|bool

Parameters:
value
- The expression to be printed.
return
- If you would like to capture the output of print_r(), use the return
parameter. When this parameter is set to true, print_r() will return the
information rather than print it.
Associative Array
 In an associative array, the keys assigned to values can be arbitrary and user
defined strings.
 Example:
Php Script Output

<?php
$nba["Jordan"] = "23";
$nba["Bryant"] = "24";
$nba["O Neal"] = "32";
$nba["Curry"] = "30";

// Printing array structure


print_r($nba);
?>
Multidimensional Array
 The multidimensional array is an array in which each element can also be
an array and each element in the sub-array can be an array or further
contain array within itself and so on.
 Syntax:
array (
array (elements...),
array (elements...),
...
)
Multidimensional Array
 Example:
Php Script Output

<?php Array
(
$nba = array( [0] => Array
(
[0] => Jordan
// Default key for each will start from 0 [1] => Bryant
array("Jordan", "Bryant", "James"), )
[2] => James
array("Curry", "Butler", "Booker")
); [1] => Array
(
[0] => Curry
// Display the array information [1] => Butler
[2] => Booker
print_r($nba); )
?> )
