hash map in PHP?

[ibanez270dx]

Hello,

I've got a PHP app that I'd like to use hash mapping in. I haven't seen this kind of functionality in PHP before, so I was wondering if this is possible. What I'd like to do is this equilvilant to this in Ruby:

 

myhashmap = {}
myhashmap['person1'] = ['John','Smith','555-555-5555']
myhashmap['person2'] = ['John','Doe','444-444-4444']

 

Does anybody know if PHP has something similar?

 

Thanks,

- Jeff
