Arrays 4/7
Access by Offset with [ ]
Each item in an array is numbered starting from 0. For example, when we create an array:
<?php
$myArray = array("do", "re", "mi");
?>
Each item is numbered starting from 0, like this:
+------+------+------+
| "do" | "re" | "mi" |
+------+------+------+
0 1 2
The item
"do"
is in position 0, the item "re"
is in position 1, and so on.
Therefore, we can access a particular item of the array using its position, like this:
<?php
$myArray = array("do", "re", "mi");
echo $myArray[0]
// outputs "do"
?>
- First we create an array named
$myArray
- Then we use
echo
to output the first item in$myArray
. Since items are numbered starting from 0,"do"
is at position 0.
