Trying to read Simple Array Values...

[theITvideos]

Hi there...

 

This array thing seems little strange and I had to turn to phpfreaks

 

I have an array named:

$optionInfo

 

When we do:

 

print_r($optionInfo);

 

it displays all the values stored in the array i.e.

Array ( [4] => Array ( [optionId] => 5 [optionName] => Blue - Medium [optionListId] => 4 [dateCreated] => [enabled] => 1 ) ) 

 

And as we can clearly see, we have the optionId value as 5. So therefore, when I type:

 

print_r($optionInfo[optionId]); 

 

It returns nothing. Even though there is a value 5 in the array but I just can't get the individual value of optionId.

 

Is there something I am missing here.

 

Kindly reply.

 

Thank you!

 

Cheers!

You should use <pre> to output arrays, it can help show dimensions.

 

var_dump($optionInfo['4']['optionId']);

 

You really shouldn't use print_r to output the value either.

What you have there is a multidimensional array, with the $optionInfo[4] element holding another array.
