Is this possible?

[antmeeks]

These statements...

 

$b=$Array1[$a];
$c=$Array2[$b];
$d=$Array3[$c];

 

combined into one statement like:

 

$d=$Array3[$Array2[$Array1[$a]]]

 

???

 

I know my example isn't valid, but is it possible to do this kind of consolidation?

Yes, this is a valid example:

$a = array('a1', 'a2', 'a3');
$b = array('b1', 'b2', 'b3');
$c = array('c1', 'c2', 'c3');

$d = array($a, $b, $c);

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear...

 

I'm not trying to make a multidimensional array out of 3 other arrays, I'm trying to consolidate the compounding of multiple array key values into one variable.

 

Literal from my example:

 

variable '$b' = the value of array1's key that equals whatever is assigned to '$a':

$b=$Array1[$a]

 

variable '$c' = the value of array2's key named the value of variable '$b':

$c=$Array2[$b]

 

variable '$d' = the value of array3's key named the value of variable '$c':

$d=$Array3[$c]

 

So... is it possible to build up the value of var $d with one statement instead of 3?

Oops, I guess I misunderstood you.

 

Your first example would work actually ($d=$Array3[$Array2[$Array1[$a]]]).

 

What are you trying to do?

[antmeeks]

Doh! I just figured that out right before your post....

 

You know it's getting late when you post in a forum before even trying it out first...

 

What I wanted to do was nest the arrays into one var - which, as you say, my original post was a completely valid example of:

 

$d=$Array3[$Array2[$Array1[$a]]];

 

Time for bed.
