#12305 — foreach problem part two

    <?php
	  foreach ($aname as $item){
	     echo $aname[$item][1];
	     echo "  (".$aname[$item][2].")";
	   }
     ?>

I decided to create a second array that holds only the artist and number of
records.
So why am I getting "invalid argument" with this?

I suspect the reason richard doesn't read the manual is because it's full 
of big scary words like parameter, integer and boolean that he doesn't 
understand.

What you actually wanted to do was something like this:

foreach($art60 as $tmp)echo"<div class='blu'>{$tmp[0]}  (".count
($tmp).")</div>";

Because you don't understand how foreach() works. RTFM.

I did.
There is a flaw in the works that is not discussed.
That being, it won't work with brackted arrays.
Works fine with standard arrays.

While (){}. however works and could care less which is used.

What do you mean by "bracketed arrays"?  There is no such thing!

foreach() works fine with ANY array.

Nonsense.  PHP has only one array type.[1]

Assume, you have an array:

  $array = array('one', 'two', 'three');

Now you want to echo its elements in order.  What is simpler and more
readable?

  $i = 0;
  while ($i < count($array)) {
    echo $array[$i];
  }

or

  foreach ($array as $element) {
    echo $element;
  }

Additionally, the foreach loop is most likely faster.

As you and others so kindly keep repeating, RTFM!

$array[0][0]="data"

Is 100% valid!

In the arrays manual, it shows the use of bracketed arrays several times.
So why don't you tell them they are wrong?

As far as I can tell, the PHP Manual NEVER calls this a "bracketed
array", and an array created this way is indistinguishable (after
creation) from the array created with the array() operator.

Creating a previously non-existent member by this member in a previously
created array does have some advantages.

I will also note, that you original program had no line like this (at
least that you showed us).

   This is not 100% legal syntax because the second [0] acts as a string 
offset instead of an index:

$alist[0][0] = "data";
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array... you must use 
*array()* to set these up.

Unsurprisingly, utter nonsense from you again.

$ php -r '$a[0] = 42; var_dump($a["0"]);'
int(42)

In fact,

  $alist[0][0] = "data";

is equivalent to

  $alist = array(array("data"));

or

  $alist = array(0 => array("data"));

or

  $alist = array(array(0 => "data"));

or

  $alist = array(0 => array(0 => "data"));

or variations of that where the key is the string '0' or "0", if $alist did 
not exist before.  

It is equivalent to

  $alist[0] = array("data");

and variations of that, including those where the keys are '0', if $alist 
existed before but did not have an element with key 0.

And it is equivalent to itself if $alist[0] referred to an array before 
(i.e., it modifies the element with index 0 of the array that is the element 
with index 0 of the outer array).

That you can create „multi-dimensional“ arrays, which can even be 
associative, with just one line, is the beauty of PHP.

   Then maybe you should read it again, specifically "Creating/modifying 
with square bracket syntax". That tells you why it isn't working.

However:

$year = "60";
$alist = "art".$year;

$$alist = array(0 => array(0 => "00", 1 => "01"), 1 => array(0 => "10", 
1 => "11"));

...is a small example of what you are trying to do.

The problem isn't your array notation, the problem is your misunderstanding of how foreach() 
works. RTFM.

Why don't you submit it as a bug if you're so confident you're right,
bullis?

Then show us the bug link.

Please.

This should be good.
