I want to make an array like this
$array = array("'firstName1', 'lastName1'", "'firstName2', 'lastName2'", ......);
I always get an error like this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'while' (T_WHILE), expecting ')' in C:\wamp\www\Tests\index.php on line 11

);
print_r($a);

$a = array();

$a[] = 'firstName'.$x;
$a[] = 'lastName'.$x;
$x++;
endwhile;
I read your question again, if you want this "'firstName1', 'lastName1'" to be actually a string then,
$a = array();
while($x<=10):
$a[] = 'firstName'.$x.'lastName'.$x;
$x++;
endwhile;
Or based on your question title (nested array) then,
$x = 1;
while($x<=10):
$a[] = array('firstName'.$x, 'lastName'.$x);
$x++;
endwhile;
if(isset($_POST['reg'])){
$x=1;
$a = array();
while($x<=10){
$a[] = "firstName$x";
$a[] = "lastName$x";
$x++;
}
print_r($a);
}
May this help you.
$x = 1;
while($x <=10 ):
$a[] = '"\'firstName'.$x.'\', \'lastName'.$x.'\'"';
$x++;
endwhile;
echo '<pre>';
print_r($a);
echo '</pre>';
Output is :
Array
(
[0] => "'firstName1', 'lastName1'"
[1] => "'firstName2', 'lastName2'"
[2] => "'firstName3', 'lastName3'"
[3] => "'firstName4', 'lastName4'"
[4] => "'firstName5', 'lastName5'"
[5] => "'firstName6', 'lastName6'"
[6] => "'firstName7', 'lastName7'"
[7] => "'firstName8', 'lastName8'"
[8] => "'firstName9', 'lastName9'"
[9] => "'firstName10', 'lastName10'"
)
