PHP Arrays Work

The document discusses arrays in PHP. It describes that an array is a special variable that stores multiple values under a single name and can be accessed using indexes or keys. It discusses the different types of arrays - indexed arrays, associative arrays, and multidimensional arrays. It provides examples on how to create, access, update, delete items from, and sort arrays in PHP. It also lists many common PHP functions for manipulating arrays.

1.INTRODUCTION

What is an array?
An array is a special variable that stores many values under a single name, and you can access the
values by referring to an index number or name.

2.Creating an Array
Array Declaration
Example:

<?php
$names = array(“iraasubiza” , ”saly” , ”nelson” );
?>
TYPES OF ARRAYS

• There are 3 types of Arrays in php


-indexed arrays
-associative arrays
-multi-dimentional arrays
1.Indexed arrays :
These are arrays with a numeric index.
Example: <?php
$names = array(“irasubiza", “saly”, “nelson");
?>
2.ASSOCIATIVE ARRAYS

Associative arrays are arrays that use named keys that you
assign to them.
Example: <?php
$student = array(“gender"=>“male", “age"=>10, “school"=>”RCA”);
?>
3.MULTIDIMENSIONAL ARRAY:
A multidimensional array is an array containing one or more arrays. It can be one dimensional as well
as two dimensional array.

Example: <?php
$cars = array (
array("Volvo",22,18),
array("BMW",15,13),
array("Saab",5,2),
array("Land Rover",17,15)
);
ACCESSING ARRAY ITEMS

To access an array item, you can refer to the index number for indexed arrays, and the
key name for associative arrays.
Example:
//for indexed arrays
<?php
$names = array(“irasubiza", “saly", “nelson");
echo $names[2]; =>it will output Toyota

// for associative arrays


$student = array(“gender" => “male", “age" => 10, “school" => “RCA”);
echo $student[“age"]; // the output will be 10
ACCESSING ARRAY ITEMS
// For Multidimensional array

<?php
$cars = array (
array("Volvo",22,18),
array("BMW",15,13),
array("Saab",5,2),
array("Land Rover",17,15)
);
ACCESSING ITEMS IN MULTIDIMENSIONAL ARRAY

echo $cars[0][0].": In stock: ".$cars[0][1].", sold: ".$cars[0][2].".<br>";


echo $cars[1][0].": In stock: ".$cars[1][1].", sold: ".$cars[1][2].".<br>";
echo $cars[2][0].": In stock: ".$cars[2][1].", sold: ".$cars[2][2].".<br>";
echo $cars[3][0].": In stock: ".$cars[3][1].", sold: ".$cars[3][2].".<br>";
?>
UPDATE ARRAY ITEM

To update an existing array item, you can refer to the index number for indexed
arrays, and the key name for associative arrays.

Example:
<?php
$cars = array("BMW", "Volvo", "Toyota");
$cars[1] = "Ford"; // value of Volvo is updated to Ford
$student = array(“gender"=>“male", “age"=>10, “school"=>”RCA”);
$student[“school"] = “LNDC”; // school is
changed to LNDC
DELETE ARRAY ITEMS

• To remove an existing item from an array, you can use the unset()
function
• Example: <?php
• $cars = array("Volvo", "BMW", "Toyota");
• unset($cars[0], $cars[1]); // there is only Toyota in the cars array

• To remove items from an associative array, you can use unset() function
like before, but referring to the key name instead of index.
SORTING ARRAYS

The elements in an array can be sorted in alphabetical or numerical order,


descending or ascending.

The following are array sorting functions

sort() - sort arrays in ascending order


rsort() - sort arrays in descending order
asort - sort associative arrays in ascending order, according to the value
ksort() - sort associative arrays in ascending order, according to the key
arsort() - sort associative arrays in descending order, according to the value
krsort() - sort associative arrays in descending order, according to the key
ARRAY SORTING EXAMPLES

• <?php
• $numbers = array(4, 6, 2, 22, 11);
• sort($numbers);

• $age = array(“nelson"=>"35", “aine"=>"37", “jovin"=>"43");


• asort($age);
• ?>

• Etc.…

ADDING NEW ELEMENTS IN ARRAY

You can add new elements to an indexed array by


assigning a value to a new index.

PHP automatically assigns the next available index to the


new element.

Here's an example of adding a new element to the $fruits


array:
Php
Examples:a)For indexed arrays

:$cars[]=“Daihatsu” ;
$cars[1]=“vigo”;
echo $cars[1] // output will be vigo
b)For associative arrays

$cars[vips]=“Mercedes”;
echo $cars[vips]; //output will be Mercedes
