array within array to function

[benjaminbeazy]

i've got an idea for a class that templates a search page with filters and results that can be called with just a couple arrays and queries but is it possible to put an array within an array and is it possible to pass such an array to a function???

yes, PHP supports multi-dimensional array.

 

$multiArray = array ('fruit'=> array('apple', 'banana'),
                            'veggie'=> array('lectuce', 'salad'));

 

now

$multiArray['fruit'] is an array contain 'apple' and 'banana'.

$multiArray['veggie'] is an array contains 'lectuce' and 'salad'

 

You can also pass this $multiArray as an argument of a function like:

 

myfunc($multiArray);
