associative array
- Thread starter neubie
- Start date
$my_array = array ("1" => "2", "3" => "4"
;
echo("my_array[1] = $my_array[1]"
prints:
-----
my_array[1] = 2
But be careful with this - associative array elements can either be referenced(I think) by the string keys of the key/value pairs, or by relative positioning in the array. So when you say $my_array[1], are you looking for the value whose string key is 1, or the value of the 2nd element(using relative addressing, the 0 element would be the first, and the 1 element would be the second)?
