syntax for two dimensional array

[P. Henninger]

Hello,

I have got some problems using a two dimensional array in an if expression:

PHP does not like:

if (table[$j]["banana"]==0)

and says:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[' in script.php on line 203



"if ({table[$j]["banana"]==0})" was also not accepted, can anyone help `?

I would also use the value in a two dimensional array as an index for another array:
$array[{table[$j]["banana"]}]

PHP does not like this, too. Can anyone help me here ?

Cheers,

Peter

Thanks, but this did not fix my problem completely.

Using

$array[{$table[$j]["banana"]}]

PHP says:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CURLY_OPEN, expecting T_STRING or
T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in script.php on line 111

$array[$table[$j]["banana"]]

example:

<?php
$array = array('zero', 'one', 'two');
$table = array();
$table[] = array('banana'= >1, 'pineapple'=>4) ;
$table[] = array('banana'= >2, 'pineapple'=>0) ;

echo $table[0]['banana']; // will echo 1
echo $array[$table[1]['pineapple']]; // will echo zero
?>
