\n
• In PHP an array is a type of data structure that allows us to store multiple elements of similar data type under a single variable thereby saving us the effort of creating a different variable for every data.<\/li>\n
• Using their index or key arrays are helpful to create a list of elements of similar types, which can be accessed.<\/li>\n
• Suppose accordingly we want to store five names and print them and it can be easily done by the use of five different string variables.<\/li>\n
• Instead of five string variables, the number rises to a hundred, then it would be really difficult for the developer or user to create so many different variables.<\/li>\n
• Also using an index or a key array comes into play and helps us to store every element within a single variable and also allows easy access.<\/li>\n
• In PHP an array is created using array() function and basically there three types, they are<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  \n
  1. \n
     \n
     1. Indexed array<\/li>\n
     2. Associative array<\/li>\n
     3. Multidimensional array<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Indexed array<\/h2>\n

        \n
        • Indexed array is represented by number which starts from 0 and we can store integer, object and string in the PHP array.<\/li>\n
        • By default, all PHP array elements are assigned to an index number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Sample Code<\/h3>\n

          <\/div>

          <?php  $season=array("January","February","March","April");  echo "Month are: $month[0], $month[1], $month[2] and $month[3]";  ?>  <\/code><\/pre> <\/div>\n
          Output<\/h3>\n
          <\/p>\n
          Associative Array<\/h2>\n
          \n
          Associative arrays are similar to the indexed arrays but instead of linear storage, every value can be assigned with a user-defined key of string type.<\/li>\n
          In PHP we can associate name with each array elements by using => symbol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          Sample Code<\/h3>\n
           
           <\/div> 
          <?php    $salary["Venkat"]="350000";    $salary["Kishore"]="450000";    $salary["Nizar"]="200000";    echo "Venkat salary: ".$salary["Venkat"]."<br\/>";  echo "Kishore salary: ".$salary["Kishore"]."<br\/>";  echo "Nizar salary: ".$salary["Nizar"]."<br\/>";  ?>    <\/code><\/pre> <\/div>\n
          Output<\/h3>\n
          <\/p>\n
          Multidimensional Array<\/h2>\n
          \n
          PHP multidimensional array is otherwise known as array of arrays and allows you to store tabular data in an array.<\/li>\n
          In the form of matrix PHP multidimensional array can be represented which is represented by row * column.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          Sample Code<\/h3>\n
           
           <\/div> 
          $emp = array    (    array(1,"Venkat",400000),    array(2,"Kishore",500000),    array(3,"Nizar",300000)    );  <\/code><\/pre> <\/div>\n
          Output<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
           <\/p>\n
          ID<\/td>\n
           <\/p>\n
          Name<\/td>\n
