    Study Notes

    Numeric Arrays

    • In numeric arrays, the index is represented by numbers.
    • If keys are not defined, the array function automatically assigns numeric keys starting from 0 in incremental order.
    • Example: array (size=3) 0 =&gt; string 'dwd' (length=3) 1 =&gt; string 'cns' (length=3) 2 =&gt; string 'java' (length=4)

    Associative Arrays

    • Associative arrays may contain either digits or strings as keys.
    • If a key is not specified, it is considered as an integer by default in incremental order.
    • Example: array (size=3) 'dwd' =&gt; int 65 'cns' =&gt; int 60 'java' =&gt; int 55
    • Index is automatically started from the one digit more than the previous integer index.

    Multidimensional Arrays

    • Multidimensional arrays contain another array inside an array.
    • Example: output: Marks for Sachin in dwd: 55 Marks for Kartik in cns: 62 Marks for Nupur in java: 39

    Adding Elements to Array

    • Once an array is declared, it is possible to insert elements into it using the array_push() function.

    PHP Arrays

    • An array is a data structure that stores one or more similar type of values in a single variable.
    • An array stores multiple values in one single variable.
    • An array is a special variable that can hold more than one value at a time.
    • Defining an array: $array_name = array(key1=&gt;value1, key2=&gt;value2, key3=&gt;value3… );
    • Types of arrays: numeric, associative, and multidimensional arrays.
