Accessing Array
Looping through Array
Some useful Functions
Array
 What is Array?
Indexing of Array
Integer based Index
Alphanumeric Index
Create a Indexed based Array
<?php Array (
$fruits = array("Apple", [0] => Apple
"Mango", "Orange", "Kiwi"); [1] => Mango
print_r($fruits); [2] => Orange
?> [3] => Kiwi
)
Integer and Float Array
$array_int = array(1,2,3,4);
print_r($array_int);

$array_float = array(1.2, 2.2, 3.09,4.87);

print_r($array_float);
Array of String
<?php
$array_string = array("abc","xyz");
print_r($array_string);
?>
Mixed Array
<?php
$array_mixed = array("abc","xyz", 1,2 , 3.3);
print_r($array_mixed);
?>
Generalize a Array
 An array in PHP is actually an ordered map
 An array can be created using the array() language construct
array( key => value, key2 => value2, key3 => value3, ... )

array(1, 2) is preferred over array(1, 2, )

last array element is optional and can be omitted
Another way to create Indexed
based Array using Implicit location
Fruits Array Output
<?php Array (
$fruits[] = "Apple"; [0] => Apple
$fruits[] = "Mango"; [1] => Mango
$fruits[] = "Banana"; [2] => Banana
$fruits[] = "Watermelon"; [3] => Watermelon
print_r($fruits); )
?>
Create Array using Explicit location
<?php
$fruits[0] = "Apple";
$fruits[1] = "Mango";
$fruits[2] = "Banana";
$fruits[3] = "Watermelon";
print_r($fruits);
?>
Accessing Array using For Loop
<?Php 0: Apple
$fruits[0] = "Apple"; 1: Mango
$fruits[1] = "Mango"; 2: Banana
$fruits[2] = "Banana"; 3: Watermelon
$fruits[3] = "Watermelon";

for ($j = 0 ; $j < 4 ; ++$j)

echo "$j: $fruits[$j] \n";
?>
Associative Arrays
 Keep Index based on Key

 Easy to remember

 More logical

 And work better for large code and multiple persons team
Associative Arrays for Feedback
<?php
$feedback['google'] = "Best Search Engine";
$feedback['yahoo'] = "Good for basic news";
$feedback['instagram'] = "Love for pics";
$feedback['facebook'] = "Stay connected with your friends";

echo $feedback['yahoo'];
?>
Output : Good for basic news
Assignment Using the array
Keyword (format index => value)
<?php
$feedback = array(
'google' =>"Best Search Engine",
'yahoo' => "Good for basic news",
'instagram' => "Love for pics",
'facebook' => "Stay connected with your friends“
);
echo $feedback['yahoo'];
?>
foreach loop
$j = 0;
foreach($feedback as $item)
{
echo "$j: $item \n";++$j;
}
0: Best Search Engine
1: Good for basic news
2: Love for pics
3: Stay connected with your friends
Accessing Key and Value
 <?php
 $feedback = array('google' =>"Best Search Engine",
 'yahoo' => "Good for basic news",
 'instagram' => "Love for pics",
 'facebook' => "Stay connected with your friends");

 while (list($item, $description) = each($feedback))
 echo "$item: $description \n";

 ?>
Output
 google: Best Search Engine
 yahoo: Good for basic news
 instagram: Love for pics
 facebook: Stay connected with your friends
Multi-D Array
 <?php  Array
 $feedback = (
array(1,2,array(3,4));  [0] => 1
 [1] => 2
 print_r($feedback);
 [2] => Array
 ?>
 (
 [0] => 3
 [1] => 4
 )

)
M-D Associative Array
 $feedback = array(
 'user1' => array('google' =>"Best Search Engine",
 'yahoo' => "Good for basic news",
 'instagram' => "Love for pics",
 'facebook' => "Stay connected with your friends"),

 'user2' => array('google' =>"Search Engine",
 'yahoo' => "I am not using",
 'instagram' => "For young",
 'facebook' => "For friends"),

 'user3' => array('google' =>"I love it",
 'yahoo' => "use only yahoo mail",
 'instagram' => "I follow celebraity",
 'facebook' => "I like it")

 );
Accessing M-D Associative Array
foreach($feedback as $user => $users)
foreach($users as $key => $value)
echo "$user:\t$key\t($value) \n";
Output
 user1: google (Best Search Engine)
 user1: yahoo (Good for basic news)
 user1: instagram (Love for pics)
 user1: facebook (Stay connected with your
friends)
 user2: google (Search Engine)
 user2: yahoo (I am not using)
 user2: instagram (For young)
 user2: facebook (For friends)
 user3: google (I love it)
 user3: yahoo (use only yahoo mail)
 user3: instagram (I follow celebraity)
 user3: facebook (I like it)
Array Functions
 is_array
 Count
 Sort
 Shuffle
 Explode
 Extract
 Compact
 Reset
 End
is_array()
To check variable is array or not
echo (is_array($fruits)) ? "Is an array" : "Is
not an array";
count($array)
Count all the top elements in a array

count($feedback) ; # 3

$p1 = array("Copier", "Inkjet", "Laser",

"Photo");
echo count($p1);#4
count(array,top_level)
 Top Level – 0 /1
 0 : counting only top level array
 1 : force recursive counting of sub arrays

count($feedback); # 3
count($feedback); # 15 (12+3)

 $p1 = array("Copier", "Inkjet", "Laser", "Photo");

 echo count($p1,1);#4
sort(array)
 Return true on success  ?>
 1
 Return false on error
 Array
<?php  (
$array = array(2,4,1,5,3);  [0] => 1
echo "\n";  [1] => 2
 [2] => 3
echo sort($array);  [3] => 4
print_r($array);  [4] => 5
 )
 1
$fruits = array("Mango",
 Array
"Apple", "Fig", "Grapes");  (
echo sort($fruits);  [0] => Apple
print_r($fruits);  [1] => Fig
 [2] => Grapes
?>
 [3] => Mango
 )
Force sorting to be made either
numerically or as strings
 sort($array, SORT_NUMERIC);
 sort($array, SORT_STRING);

Reverse Order
rsort($fred, SORT_NUMERIC);
rsort($fred, SORT_STRING);
shuffle(array)
 Array
 Return true on success (
 Return false on error  [0] => 7
 [1] => 2
 [2] => 6
 <?php  [3] => 3
 $nos =  [4] => 4
array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9);  [5] => 8
 shuffle($nos);  [6] => 1
 [7] => 9
 print_r($nos)
 [8] => 5
 ?> )
explode()
 Convert string into array using some separator
 Separator may be any char
 <?php
 $temp = explode(' ', "I am a coder");
 print_r($temp);
 ?>
 Array ( [0] => I [1] => am [2] => a [3] => coder )
explode()
 <?php
 $temp = explode('#', "BCCD#ADDF#EEFG#AAAA");
 print_r($temp);
 ?>

 Array ( [0] => BCCD [1] => ADDF [2] => EEFG [3] => AAAA )
extract()
 Convert key/value pairs from an array into PHP
variables
 Example : $_GET or $_POST variables as sent to
a PHP script by a form

 extract($_GET);
compact()
 Inverse of extract()

 $fname = "Krish";
 $sname = "Richard";
