Multidimensional Arrays
A Multidimantional Array is an Array Containing One or More Array in Single Array
Sometimes you want to store values with more than one key.
This can be stored in multidimensional arrays.
PHP - Two-dimensional Arrays A two-dimensional array is an array of arrays (a three-dimensional array is an array of arrays of arrays).
First, take a look at the following table:
| Name | In Stock | Sold |
|---|---|---|
| Maruti | 20 | 10 |
| Tata | 15 | 6 |
| Hyundai | 7 | 2 |
| BMW | 22 | 20 |
We can store the data from the table above in a two-dimensional array, like this:
$store = array(
"Maruti"=> array("InStock"=>20,"Sold"=>10),
"Tata"=> array("InStock"=>15,"Sold"=>6),
"Hyundai"=> array("InStock"=>7,"Sold"=>2),
"BMW"=> array("InStock"=>22,"Sold"=>20));
"Maruti"=> array("InStock"=>20,"Sold"=>10),
"Tata"=> array("InStock"=>15,"Sold"=>6),
"Hyundai"=> array("InStock"=>7,"Sold"=>2),
"BMW"=> array("InStock"=>22,"Sold"=>20));
Example
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Car Name </th>
<th>In Stock </th>
<th>Sold </th>
</tr>
<?php
$car = array("Maruti"=> array("InStock"=>20,"Sold"=>10),
"Tata"=> array("InStock"=>15,"Sold"=>6),
"Hyundai"=> array("InStock"=>7,"Sold"=>2),
"BMW"=> array("InStock"=>22,"Sold"=>20));
foreach($car as $key=>$value)
{
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $key ;?> </td>
<td ><?php echo $value["InStock"];?> </td>
<td> <?php echo $value["Sold"];?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</table>
<tr>
<th>Car Name </th>
<th>In Stock </th>
<th>Sold </th>
</tr>
<?php
$car = array("Maruti"=> array("InStock"=>20,"Sold"=>10),
"Tata"=> array("InStock"=>15,"Sold"=>6),
"Hyundai"=> array("InStock"=>7,"Sold"=>2),
"BMW"=> array("InStock"=>22,"Sold"=>20));
foreach($car as $key=>$value)
{
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $key ;?> </td>
<td ><?php echo $value["InStock"];?> </td>
<td> <?php echo $value["Sold"];?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
