Accessing Values with in a Simple Multidimensional Array?

[CoolHandLuke]

I have the following code:

 

<?php
 
$m_array = array(
                                'species'  => "Northern",
                                'length'   => 3,
                                'color'    => array(
                                                            'firstColor'  => "brown",
                                                             'secondColor' => "copper"
                                                             ),
                               'bodyType' => "stocky"
);
 
        print_r($m_array);
 
?>

 

I can't seem to figure out how to print_r the value of 'firstColor'. How is this done?

 

Thank you!

The firstColor is inside the color array which is inside the $m_array array.

$m_array["color"]["firstColor"]

Following up on Requinix's answer, print_r exists so you can just quick dump out an array or object. So you wouldn't print_r a single element.

 

His answer shows you how you can reference elements in multiple nested arrays.

Thank you both.
