PHP Array

This document discusses PHP associative arrays, which use named keys to store values. There are two ways to create an associative array: by assigning values to keys in an array declaration, or by assigning values to keys individually. Associative array keys can then be used to access and output the corresponding values. A foreach loop can also be used to loop through all the keys and values in an associative array. The document then provides a link to more complete documentation on PHP arrays.

PHP Associative Arrays


Associative arrays are arrays that use named keys that you assign to them.

There are two ways to create an associative array:

$age = array("Peter"=>"35", "Ben"=>"37", "Joe"=>"43");

or:

$age['Peter'] = "35";
$age['Ben'] = "37";
$age['Joe'] = "43";

The named keys can then be used in a script:

Example
<?php
$age = array("Peter"=>"35", "Ben"=>"37", "Joe"=>"43");
echo "Peter is " . $age['Peter'] . " years old.";
?>

Loop Through an Associative Array


To loop through and print all the values of an associative array, you could use
a foreach loop, like this:

Example
<?php
$age = array("Peter"=>"35", "Ben"=>"37", "Joe"=>"43");

foreach($age as $x => $x_value) {


echo "Key=" . $x . ", Value=" . $x_value;
echo "<br>";
}
?>
