Multi-dimensional array in php

Question

Hi all,

I would like to create a multi-dimensional array with two variables but don't know how.

This is what i have so far;

 $_SESSION['name'][] = $row_subject['name'];
 $_SESSION['history'][]= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

I wanted to know if this is possible?

$_SESSION['name'][] = $row_subject['name'],$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

i want to get the name of a programme which is generated via a data base and also to retrieve the url. What i am actually doing once the name is retrieve, i want to make that a link which the url would be necessary.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

$_SESSION['name'][] = array($row_subject['name'], $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you want to do but the correct notation for your second example could be

$_SESSION['name'][] = array("name" => $row_subject['name'], 
                            "history" => $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

This pushes an associative array with the keys "name" and "history" to the array $_SESSION["name"].

You could then access the entries like so:

echo $_SESSION["name"][0]["name"];
echo $_SESSION["name"][0]["history"];

if you repeat the command with different data:

$_SESSION['name'][] = array("name" => $row_subject['name'], 
                            "history" => $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

the next entry would be addressed like so:

You could then access the entries like so:

echo $_SESSION["name"][1]["name"];
echo $_SESSION["name"][1]["history"];

and so on.
