[SOLVED] multidimensional arrays

[chiprivers]

With a noraml array, I understand that you can declare it in either of the following ways:

 

$name = array( list array values seperated by comas... );

 

or

 

$name[] = value;

 

I am trying to use two-dimensional arrays and all the references tell you to do it like this:

 

$name = array ( $name = array( values in here), $name = array( values in here ) );

 

but I was wondering if you should be able to do it like this:

 

$name[$x][$y] = value;

 

I have tried it but can't get it to work??

you may need to create an instance of the top level array.

 

$name[$x];
$name[$x][$y];

 

I have never tried what you are doing but this may help.

Simple example...

 

<?php

$out = array ();

for ( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i += 1 )
{
$out[$i] = array ();

for ( $j = 0; $j < 10; $j += 1 )
{
	$out[$i][$j] = $j;
}
}

print_r ( $out );
