associative-array

For example: $names = {[bob:27, billy:43, sam:76]}; and then be able to reference it like this: $names[bob] Jacob http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php <?php $array = array( "foo" => "bar", "bar" => "foo", ); // as of PHP 5.4 $array = [ "foo" => "bar", "bar" => "foo", ]; ?> Standard arrays can be used that way. Brént Russęll No, there are no dictionaries in php. The closest thing you have is an array. However, an array is different than a dictionary in that arrays have both an index and a key. Dictionaries only have keys and no index. What do I mean by that? $array = array( "foo" =

In PHP, I want to insert into a database using data contained in a associative array of field/value pairs. Example: $_fields = array('field1'=>'value1','field2'=>'value2','field3'=>'value3'); The resulting SQL insert should look as follows: INSERT INTO table (field1,field2,field3) VALUES ('value1','value2','value3'); I have come up with the following PHP one-liner: mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (".implode(',',array_keys($_fields)).") VALUES (".implode(',',array_values($_fields)).")"); It separates the keys and values of the the associative array and implodes to generate a comma-separated

I've a following associative array named $data Array ( [0] => Array ( [transaction_user_id] => 359691e27b23f8ef3f8e1c50315cd506 [transaction_no] => 19500912050218 [transaction_total_amount] => 589.00 [transaction_date] => 1335932419 [transaction_status] => cancelled ) [1] => Array ( [transaction_user_id] => 9def02e6337b888d6dbe5617a172c18d [transaction_no] => 36010512050819 [transaction_total_amount] => 79.00 [transaction_date] => 1336476696 [transaction_status] => cancelled ) [2] => Array ( [transaction_user_id] => 9def02e6337b888d6dbe5617a172c18d [transaction_no] => 19020512050820

The Confusing discussion In this question , there is a discussion on the concepts of associated array and object in javaScript which I got a bit confused. In this example code: var check = { pattern : { name: /^[a-zA-Z-\s]{1,20}$/, email: /^[a-zA-Z0-9._(-)]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.(-)]+\.[a-zA-Z]{1,4}$/, pass: /.{6,40}/, url: /^[(-)\w&:\/\.=\?,#+]{1,}$/, aml: /<(.+)_([a-z]){1}>$/ } }; Here is the discussion makes me confused: @steven.yang the outer object is not an associative array in your sample, but that is what is being asked for @sissonb what do you mean by 'outer object is not an associative array'?

I'm trying to build an associative array in PHP dynamically, and not quite getting my strategy right. Basically, I want to insert a value at a certain depth in the array structure, for instance: $array['first']['second']['third'] = $val; Now, the thing is, I'm not sure if that depth is available, and if it isn't, I want to create the keys (and arrays) for each level, and finally insert the value at the correct level. Since I'm doing this quite a lot in my code, I grew tired of doing a whole bunch of "array_key_exists", so I wanted to do a function that builds the array for me, given a list of

In this very simplified example, I need to address both key and value of an array element: declare -A writer writer[H.P.]=Lovecraft writer[Stephen]=King writer[Clive]=Barker writer[Jack]=Ketchum for i in ${!writer[@]} do echo "$i ${writer[$i]}" done fullname() { pointer=$1[@] for i in "${!pointer}" do echo "? $i" done } fullname writer The function must display the output in the same format as the example loop before it, and it should receive either array name, list of keys or values, all of which I tried, without success. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. indir_keys() { eval "echo \${!

Below is some poorly written and heavily misunderstood PHP code with no error checking. To be honest, I'm struggling a little getting my head around the maze of PHP->MySQLi functions! Could someone please provide an example of how one would use prepared statements to collect results in an associative array whilst also getting a row count from $stmt? The code below is what I'm playing around with. I think the bit that's throwing me off is using $stmt values after store_result and then trying to collect an assoc array, and I'm not too sure why... $mysqli = mysqli_connect($config['host'], $config
