Use the array function in PHP to create a new array. The phparray function array

The array in PHP is actually an ordered map. A map is a type that associates values ​​to keys. This type is optimized in many ways, so it can be treated as a real array, or list (vector), hash table (which is an implementation of map), dictionary, set, stack, queue and many more possibilities. Since the value of an array element can also be another array, tree structures and multidimensional arrays are also allowed.

array — Create a new array

Description

Copy code The code is as follows:
array array ([ mixed $... ] )

Returns an array created based on the parameters. Parameters can be indexed using the => operator. For information on what an array is please read the Arrays section.

Note:

array() is a language construct used to represent arrays literally, not a regular function.

The syntax "index => values", separated by commas, defines the index and value. The index can be a string or a number. If the index is omitted, an integer index starting from 0 is automatically generated. If the index is an integer, the next resulting index will be the largest integer index so far, 1. Note that if two identical indexes are defined, the latter one will overwrite the previous one.

Although it is unusual, it is legal syntax to add a comma after the last defined array item.

The following example demonstrates how to create a two-dimensional array, how to assign key names to the corresponding array, and how to skip and continue numeric indexes in ordinary arrays.

Example #1 array() Example

<&#63;php
$fruits = array (
  "fruits" => array("a" => "orange", "b" => "banana", "c" => "apple"),
  "numbers" => array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6),
  "holes"  => array("first", 5 => "second", "third")
);
&#63;>

Example #2 Automatic indexing of array()

<&#63;php
$array = array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 8 => 1, 4 => 1, 19, 3 => 13);
print_r($array);
&#63;>

The above routine will output:

Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 1
[2] => 1
[3] => 13
[4] => 1
[8] => 1
[9] => 19
)

Note that index 3 is defined twice, retaining the last value of 13. Index 4 is defined after index 8, and the next automatically generated index (the one with value 19) is 9 because the largest index is 8.

This example creates an array starting from 1.

Example #3 array() indexed starting from 1

<&#63;php
$firstquarter = array(1 => 'January', 'February', 'March');
print_r($firstquarter);
&#63;>

The above routine will output:

 Array
(
  [1] => January
  [2] => February
  [3] => March
)

In Perl, you can access the value of an array within double quotes. But in PHP, arrays need to be enclosed in curly braces.

Example #4 Accessing an array within double quotes

<&#63;php
$foo = array('bar' => 'baz');
echo "Hello {$foo['bar']}!"; // Hello baz!
&#63;>
