Adding Information Ot An Array

[enginemike]

Hello

 

I am trying to add some information to an existing associative array.

 

My array is:

 

$van_pool_members =

array(

"member_1" => array('first_name' => "Joe, "last_name" => "Smith", "member_number" => "1"),

"member_2" => array('first_name' => "Mary, "last_name" => "Black", "member_number" => "2")

)

 

I am trying to figure out how to append a new member dynamically.  For example, I enter the information in a form and submit.

 

A new member is Tom Jones member number 3.

 

I have been researching to no avail and have yet to figure this out.

 

If anyone could offer some insight I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks

$van_pool_members['member_3'] = array('first_name' => 'Tom', 'last_name' => 'Jones', 'member_number' => '3');

$van_pool_members['member_3'] = array('first_name' => 'Tom', 'last_name' => 'Jones', 'member_number' => '3');

 

Pretty much if you want it dynamic...it all depends on how your form works and being able to create the above code dynamically that's all there is to it.

if you have a POST form then
$van_pool_members['member_3']['first_name'] = $_POST['fname']
$van_pool_members['member_3']['last_name'] = $_POST['fname']
$van_pool_members['member_3']['member_number'] = count($van_pool_members);

And also, is there any need to have a member_number?

 

Maybe it would work better like this?

 

$van_pool_members['3'] = array('first_name' => 'Tom', 'last_name' => 'Jones');

 

foreach ($van_pool_members as $k => $v) {
echo 'Member #'.$k.'<br />
First Name: '.$van_pool_members[$k]['first_name'].'<br />
Last Name: '.$van_pool_members[$k]['last_name'];
