An array is a collection of data items stored under a single name. Array provides a mechanism for declaring and accessing several data items with only one identifier, thereby simplifying the task of data management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

we use an array when we have to deal with multiple data items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three types of array.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

1. Numeric\/Indexed array.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Associative array.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Multidimensional Array.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numeric\/Indexed array<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When an array index is represented by a number, it is called Numeric\/Indexed array.<\/em> By default, numeric array index starts from 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syntax:- $array_name [0] = Value;<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Example:-<\/strong> $name[0]= “Sushant”;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample program <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<?php
$name [0]= “Sushant”;
echo $name[0];
?><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Output:- Sushant<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associative array.<\/em> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When an array index is represented by a String, it is called Associative array.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Example:-<\/strong> $Fee [“Sushant”] = 520;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multidimensional Array.<\/em> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arrays of Arrays is known as Multidimensional Array.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
