Arrays

Read the variables tutorial first.

Arrays basically allow you to store more than one piece of information in a variable, instead of having to create separate variables for each bit of information.

We’ll start off with our basic PHP tags:

<?php

?>

Now, we’ll add a variable, and this variable will equal to an ‘array’:
<?php
$names = array ();
?>

We can then add our information in-between the two brackets, like so:
<?php
$names = array ("Owen", "Joe", "Sam", "Lucy");
?>

Now, if you wanted to echo one of the names, you’d echo the variable;

<?php
$names = array ("Owen", "Joe", "Sam", "Lucy");

echo $names;

?>

And then add this (Owen would be 0, Joe would be 1 etc.):

<?php
$names = array ("Owen", "Joe", "Sam", "Lucy");

echo $names [0];

?>
