Question

I’m trying to store data from a table, and I do not know how many lines will be in said table. My idea was to make a main array called data, a sub array for each line with just numeric labels (1,2,3,etc) and then inside each of those would be the actual data from each line, so it would be like this:

data
  ->1
    ->item1
    ->item2
    ->item3
  ->2
    ->item1
    ->item2
    ->item3
  ->3
    ->item1
    ->item2
    ->item3

ETC. I know how to work with multidimensional arrays and I know there are easy ways to accomplish this in java, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it in php.

Answer 1

To keep on adding to an array simply use the following code:

$myArray[] = 'another value';

Notice the [] this tells php to add another value to the array (without removing previous elements)

See here for a quick tutorial on mutidimensional arrays:
