Help?

How do i spesify an array key when adding array elements dynamically in php?

E.g.

I am doing:

$blah="hello";

$array1[$blah][] = "hello2";

But when i do

print_r($array1);

it does not do

hello => hello2

but

[0] => hello2

how can i work around this?

[missing-score]

$array1[$blah]['hello'] = "hello2"; 

shoud do it.

Also, if you are defining an array, you can also do:

$array = array(
     'key1' => 'value1',
     'key2' => 'value2',
     'key3' => 'value3'
);

which will make an array like:

$array['key1']  = 'value1'

ect. 

hope this helps

You need to read our posting guidelines section 2 before creating any more topics.

I read the guidelines, and could not think of anything more descriptive than "Help?", i suppose i could have put "Array Help?"

missing-score you misunderstand what is wrong,

I want to put the string index of the array in a variable. Since i am creating the array using dynamic infromation.

$array1[$blah]['hello'] = "hello2"; 

Is not what i wanted.

I wanted

$blah="hello";
$array1[$blah][] = "hello2";
$array1[$blah][] = "hello3";
$blah="helloa";
$array1[$blah][] = "helloa2";
$array1[$blah][] = "helloa3";

So that

Array(
  'hello' => Array(
                    [0] = "hello2"
                    [1] = "hello2"
                  )
  'helloa' => Array(
                    [0] = "helloa2"
                    [1] = "helloa3"
                  )
) 

is what i wanted to happen, but is not happening.

[missing-score]

try something like

$blah = "hello";

$array[$blah] = array();

array_push($array[$blah], "value1");
array_push($array[$blah], "value2"); 

thats how I would do it.

Hope Im understanding you this time.
