    PHP ARRAY

    An array is a special variable that we use to store or hold more than one value in a single
    variable without having to create more variables to store those values.
    An array is a data structure that stores one or more similar type of values in a single
    value.
    For example if you want to store 100 numbers then instead of defining 100 variables
    its easy to define an array of 100 length.
    An array is nothing but the data structure that allows the storage of multiple values under a
    single name. In simple terms, it’s a variable that is capable of containing more than one values.
    The values assigned to the array are homogeneous in nature, it means the data type of all the
    values should be the same. If an array is supposed to be containing the integer value only then
    it won’t be possible to store character or string values in that.
    Eg:
    $food1 = "Pizza";
    $food2 = "Burger";
    $food3 = "French Fry";
    ❑Advantage of PHP Array
    • Less Code: we don’t need to define multiple variables.
    • Easy to traverse: we can traverse all the elements of an array.
    • Sorting: We can sort the elements of array.
    • Less memory utilization:The increasing number of variables also
    increases the memory utilization by the program as memory is required
    to be assigned to every variable but in case of an array, memory has to
    be assigned to the single array that could store multiple values and
    same unnecessary memory consumption
    Traverse an array means to access each element (item) stored in the array so that the
    data can be checked or used as part of a process.
    Types of Array in PHP
    ▪ Indexed or Numerical arrays - Arrays with a numeric index.
    ▪ Associative arrays - Arrays with named keys.
    ▪ Multidimensional arrays - Arrays containing one or more arrays.
    Numerical or Indexed Arrays
    A numerical array is a type of array which can store strings, numbers, and
    objects and their index is represented by a number.
    ▪ First way to declare indexed Array
    Syntax:
    <?php
    $variable_name[n] = value;
    ?>
    Where,
    “$variable_name…” is the name of the variable
    “[n]” is the access index number of the element
    “value” is the value assigned to the array element.
    Eg:
    <?php
    $movie[0]="Shaolin Monk";
    $movie[1]="Drunken Master";
    $movie[2]="American Ninja"; Output:
    $movie[3]="Once upon a time in China";
    $movie[4]="Replacement Killers";
    echo $movie[3];
    $movie[3] = " Eastern Condors";
    echo $movie[3];
    ?>
    ▪ Second Way: Using Array() Function
    Syntax:
    $array_name = array("value1", "value2", "value3",..)
    Where,
    • Array_name: is the name of the array that will consist of the values.
    • Array(): is the function which helps to implement the mechanism of
    the array in PHP.
    • Values inside the double quotes are the values that are being
    assigned to the array.
    Eg:
    <?php
    $student_name=array("Amit", "Raj", "Dhiraj", "Shyam");
    echo $student_name[0];
    echo "<br>";
    echo $student_name[1]; Output: The above program will print the
    echo "<br>"; name of all the students and below is the
    output.
    echo $student_name[2];
    Amit
    echo "<br>"; Raj
    Dhiraj
    echo $student_name[3]; Shyam

    ?>
    Eg:2
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Indexed Array</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>Indexed Array Demo</h1>
    <?php
    $marks=array(60,78,87,67,80);
    echo "Marks are : $marks[0],$marks[1],$marks[2] and
    $marks[3]";
    ?>
    </body> Output
    </html>
    Using Foreach
    Syntax: foreach($array_name as $variable_represent_array_value){
    }

    Output
    Using For ,while and do while loop

    Output
    Viewing Array Structure and Values
    The var_dump keyword will show us the total number of elements we
    have in the array, the index number of each array, and also the length
    of each element in the array.
    Output
    f
    <?php
    $numbers = array('8', '20', '40', '58', '88', '200', '400', '500');
    var_dump ($numbers [4]);
    ?>
    Output:
    The print_r() function is a built-in function in PHP and is used to print
    or display information stored in a variable.

    Output
    Associative array
    An associative array is a type of array where the key has its own value.
    In an associative array, we make use of key and value.
    Keys are descriptive captions of the array element used to access the
    value of the array. And value is the value assigned to the array element.
    Eg: <?php
    $age= array("Peter"=>"35", "Ben"=>"37", "Joe"=>"43")
    ;
    echo "Peter is " . $age['Peter'] . " years old.";
    ?>
    <?php
    $age
    = array("Peter"=>"35", "Ben"=>"37", "Joe"=>"43");

    foreach($age as $x => $x_value) {


    echo "Key=" . $x . ", Value=" . $x_value;
    echo "<br>";
    }
    ?>
    Output
    Multidimensional Arrays
    The multidimensional array is an array in which each element can also
    be an array and each element in the sub-array can be an array or
    further contain array within itself and so on.
