ARRAYS

An array stores multiple values in one single variable:

<?php
$colors=array("red","yellow","blue","green");
echo $colors[0]."<br>";
echo $colors[1];
echo $colors[2];
echo $colors[3];
?>
<?php
$colors=["red","yellow","blue","green"];
for($i=0;$i<4;$i++)
echo $colors[$i];
?>
An array stores multiple values in one single variable:
 TRY THIS

• $color = array('white', 'green', 'red'')

Write a PHP script which will display the colors in the following way :

Output :
white, green, red,

• $color = array('white', 'green', 'red', 'blue', 'black');

Write a script which will display the following string

"The memory of that scene for me is like a frame of film forever frozen at that
moment: the red carpet, the green lawn, the white house, the leaden sky. The new
president and his first lady. - Richard M. Nixon"
and the words 'red', 'green' and 'white' will come from $color.
Associative Array
<?php
$age=array("bill"=>25, "john"=>28, "deep"=>27);
var_dump($age); Shows the data types of values
echo $age["john"]."<br>";
echo $age["bill"];
echo $age["deep"];
?>
 TRY THIS

Create an associative array representing a person's information,

including name, age, and email.

Create an associative array of fruits and their corresponding colors. Loop

through the array and print out each fruit and its color.
 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:

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

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

echo "Key=" . $x . ", Value=" .
$x_value;
echo "<br>";
}
?> Key=Peter, Value=35
Key=Ben, Value=37
Key=Joe, Value=43
Multidimensional Arrays
◦ Multidimensional array as an array of arrays
◦ Every element in the array holds a sub-array within it.
Var dump in php
Print_r
Output
Unset()

If you want to delete the whole array you need to use unset($arr);
Sort Array in Ascending Order - sort()

The following example sorts the elements of the $cars array in ascending alphabetical order:
Sort Array in Descending Order - rsort()

Sort Array (Ascending Order), According to Value - asort()

Sort Array (Ascending Order), According to Key - ksort()

Sort Array (Descending Order), According to Value - arsort()

 TRY THIS

Write a PHP script to sort the following associative array :

array("Sophia"=>"31","Jacob"=>"41","William"=>"39","Ramesh"=>"40") in

a) ascending order sort by value

b) ascending order sort by Key
c) descending order sorting by Value
d) descending order sorting by Key
