PHP ARRAYS

PHP arrays
• Arrays are complex variables that allow us to store more
than one value or a group of values under a single
variable name.
Types of Arrays in PHP
There are three types of arrays that you can create. These
are:

• 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.
Indexed Arrays
• An indexed or numeric array stores each array element with a
numeric index.

<?php
$courses = array("PHP", "Laravel", "Node js");
echo "I like " . $courses[0] . ", " . $courses[1] . " and " . $courses[2];
echo "<br>";
echo count($courses);
?>
OUTPUT:
I like PHP, Laravel and Node js

Loop Through an Indexed Array(for loop)
<?php
$courses = array("PHP", "Laravel", "Node js");
$courseslength = count($courses);

for($x = 0; $x <$courseslength; $x++) {

echo $courses[$x];
echo "<br>";
}
?>
OUTPUT:
PHP
Laravel
Node js
Loop Through an Indexed Array(PHP foreach
Loop)
• The foreach loop is used to iterate over arrays.
• It is used to loop through each key/value pair in an array.
<?php
$courses = array("PHP", "Laravel", "Node js");

// Loop through colors array

foreach($courses as $course){
echo $course . "<br>";
}
?>

OUTPUT:
PHP
Laravel
Node js
Associative Array
• Associative arrays are arrays that use named keys that
you assign to them.

• We can associate name with each array elements in PHP

using => symbol.

• The keys assigned to values can be arbitrary and user

defined strings.
Associative Array(contd.)
<?php
$courses = array("INT220"=>"PHP", "INT221"=>"Laravel",
"INT222"=>"Node js");
echo "INT 220 is ".$courses['INT220'].". INT 221 is ".
$courses['INT221'].". INT222 is ".$courses['INT222'];
?>
OUTPUT:
INT 220 is PHP. INT 221 is Laravel. INT222 is Node js
Associative Array(contd.)
<?php
$courses["INT220"] = "PHP";
$courses["INT221"] = "Laravel";
$courses["INT222"] = "Node js";

// Printing array structure

print_r($courses);
?>

OUTPUT:
Array ( [INT220] => PHP [INT221] => Laravel [INT222] =>
Node js )
Loop Through an Associative Array(for each
loop)
<?php
$courses =
array("INT220"=>"PHP","INT221"=>"Laravel","INT222"=>"Node
js");
foreach($courses as $course => $value) {
echo "Key=".$course.","."Value=".$value;
echo "<br>";
}
?>
OUTPUT:
Key=INT220, Value=PHP
Key=INT221, Value=Laravel
Key=INT222, Value=Node js
Loop Through an Associative Array(for loop)
<?php
$courses = array('INT220'=>'PHP','INT221'=>'Laravel','INT222'=>'N
ode js');
$keys = array_keys($courses);
$values = array_values($courses);
for($x=0; $x<count($courses); $x++) {
echo "Key=".$keys[$x].','."Value=".$values[$x]. "<br>";
}
?>
OUTPUT:
Key=INT220,Value=PHP
Key=INT221,Value=Laravel
Key=INT222,Value=Node js
Multidimensional Arrays
• 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.

OUTPUT:
<?php Manoj----CGPA is: 7.8 and his status is
$result = array( pass
array("Manoj",7.8,"pass"), Aditya----CGPA is: 8.5 and his status is
pass
array("Aditya",8.5,"pass"),
Anuj----CGPA is: 4.9 and his status is fail
array("Anuj",4.9,"fail")
);
echo $result[0][0]. "----CGPA is: " . $result[0][1]." and his status is ".
$result[0][2]."<br>";
echo $result[1][0]. "----CGPA is: " . $result[1][1]." and his status is ".
$result[1][2]."<br>";
echo $result[2][0]. "----CGPA is: " . $result[2][1]." and his status is ".
$result[2][2];
?>

<?php
$result = array(
array(
"name" => "Manoj",
OUTPUT:
"cgpa" => 7.8, Manoj----CGPA is: 7.8 and his status is pass
),
"status" => "pass"
Aditya----CGPA is: 8.5 and his status is pass
