how to build arrays of objects in PHP without specifying an index number?

Question

Here is a weird question. I am building an array of objects manually, like this:

$pages_array[0]->slug = \"index\";
$pages_array[0]->title = \"Site Ind

If you make them arrays with named keys rather than objects, you can do it like this:

$pages_array = array(
     array(
         'slug' => 'index',
         'title' => 'Site Index',
         'template' => 'interior'
     ),

     array(
         'slug' => 'a',
         'title' => '100% Wide (Layout A)',
         'template' => 'interior'
     ),

     array(
         'slug' => 'homepage',
         'title' => 'Homepage',
         'template' => 'homepage'
     )
);

You can combine this with Fanis' solution and use the slugs as the keys if you like.
