i need to push values in an array, but this array is always with different number of elements, and some of them are numbered i would like to have something like:
{"idWeb":223,"category":"animals","questionText":"have you got animals?","howManyAnswers":2,"answerText1":"yes","risid1":43,"answerText2":"no","risid2":44}
for this array, for example the variable names should be answertext1 and answertext2.
so at a time, i will have something like this:
$arrayname['answertext'.$a] = "some sentence string";
is it right?
Yes its correct.. For example
$arr = array( 'a1'=>12,'a2'=>32,'a3'=>22,'a3'=>33 );
$x=1;
print_r($arr['a'.$x]);
This will output 12.
Yes, there's no problem using vars as key names in associative arrays in PHP, for example:
$a = 1;
$b = 2;
$arrayname['answertext'.$a] = "some sentence string A";
$arrayname['answertext'.$b] = "some sentence string B";
echo $arrayname['answertext'.$a] . "<br/>"; //"some sentence string A"
echo $arrayname['answertext1'] . "<br/>"; //"some sentence string A"
echo $arrayname['answertext'.$b] . "<br/>"; //"some sentence string B"
echo $arrayname['answertext2'] . "<br/>"; //"some sentence string B"
To create an associative array with array( ), use the => symbol to separate indexes from values:
$array = array(
"foo" => "bar",
"bar" => "foo",
);
// a partir de PHP 5.4
$array = [
"foo" => "bar",
"bar" => "foo",
];
To construct an empty array, pass no arguments to array( ):
$addresses = array( );
