array --  Create an array

Description

array array ([mixed ...])

Returns an array of the parameters. The parameters can be given an index with the => operator.

Note: Array() is a language construct used to represent literal arrays, and not a regular function.

The following example demonstrates how to create a two-dimensional array, how to specify keys for associative arrays, and how to skip-and-continue numeric indices in normal arrays.

Example 1. Array() example


$fruits = array (
    "fruits"  => array ("a"=>"orange", "b"=>"banana", "c"=>"apple"),
    "numbers" => array (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6),
    "holes"   => array ("first", 5 => "second", "third")
);
