Array in PHP

Almost every language supports array, which is a collection of similar data type, but in PHP language it could be or could not be the same. An array could be a collection of similar or dissimilar datatype. 

PHP Array Example 1:

<?php

echo"An array with similar datatype"."<br/>";

$array=array("These","are","similar");

var_dump($array);

echo"An array with dissimilar datatype"."<br/>";

$array=array("String",122,34.34,true,'v');

var_dump($array);

?>

Output: 

An array with similar datatype
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(5) "These"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "are"
  [2]=>
  string(7) "similar"
}
An array with dissimilar datatype
array(5) {
  [0]=>
  string(6) "String"
  [1]=>
  int(122)
  [2]=>
  float(34.34)
  [3]=>
  bool(true)
  [4]=>
  string(1) "v"
}

Array in PHP with Example 2:

<?php

echo"An array with similar datatype"."<br/>";

$array=array("These","are","similar");

var_dump($array);

echo"var_dump() is a function which is used to print the elements of an array";

echo "<br/>Another function is print_r(), which is used to print an array<br/>";

print_r($array);

?>

Output:

An array with similar datatype
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(5) "These"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "are"
  [2]=>
  string(7) "similar"
}
var_dump() is a function which is used to print the elements of an array
Another function is print_r(), which is used to print an array
Array
(
    [0] => These
    [1] => are
    [2] => similar
)

Example 3:

<?php

echo"This is an example of numeric array<br/>";

$array=array("This","is","numeric","array");

var_dump($array);

echo"This is an example of associative array<br/>";

$array=array(1=>"This","s"=>2,3=>23.23);

var_dump($array);

0

?>

Output:

This is an example of numeric array
array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(4) "This"
  [1]=>
  string(2) "is"
  [2]=>
  string(7) "numeric"
  [3]=>
  string(5) "array"
}
This is an example of associative array
array(3) {
  [1]=>
  string(4) "This"
  ["s"]=>
  int(2)
  [3]=>
  float(23.23)
}

Example 4:

<?php

echo "This is an example of numeric array<br/>";

2

$array=array( "string"=>array( "This", "is", "multidimensional", "array"),

"numeric"=>array(1,2,2,223,34));

var_dump ($array);

3

?>

Output:

This is an example of numeric array
array(2) {
  ["string"]=>
  array(4) {
    [0]=>
    string(4) "This"
    [1]=>
    string(2) "is"
    [2]=>
    string(14) "multidimensional"
    [3]=>
    string(5) "array"
  }
  ["numeric"]=>
  array(5) {
    [0]=>
    int(1)
    [1]=>
    int(2)
    [2]=>
    int(2)
    [3]=>
    int(223)
    [4]=>
    int(34)
  }
}
