I have a multi-dimensional array and php seems to be returning an array instead of a value when I attempt to access the values directly. What am I doing to cause this?
The array looks like (via print_r):
Array (
[12] => Array ( [2016] => 93083.00 [2015] => 85367.00 [2014] => 69726.00 )
[11] => Array ( [2016] => 66730.00 [2015] => 65548.00 [2014] => 77936.00 )
[10] => Array ( [2016] => 84602.00 [2015] => 112070.00 [2014] => 102104.00 )
)
I'm trying to access values using $arrayname[12][2016] but it is returning Array[2016] instead of 93083.
Is this a simple syntax mistake? Or am I missing part of the concept here? I've been trying to work this problem for hours so maybe I'm missing a simple explanation.
EDIT: the syntax above is actually correct, the issue was in the data entry: I was trying to access a key that didn't exist. I tried to delete the post, but can't since it has been answered.
$arrayname[12] = [2016=>93083.00, 2015=> 85367.00 ]
...
...
echo $arrayname[12][2015] ; // prints 85367
i think your array has one more level. try $arrayname[12][2016][2016] .
