#1447 — PHP Array check

This may be a very dumb question to you guys, but I am a PHP
beginner.  I have a PHP link that I would like to contain in an array,
with URLs and link titles being the contained data.  After researching
arrays a little, I understand that something like

$thenumbers = array('ONE', 'dos', 'three', '4');

foreach ($thenumbers as $thenumber) {
echo $thenumber.', ';
}

would return "ONE, dos, three, 4, " as I added a separating comma.
However, I want two variables to appear inside of my echo line.  I
shall break this down into two parts.

1) Would array('MyURL' => 'MyText', 'MySecondURL' => 'MySecondText')
be a valid array to insert into '<a href=THE LINK>THE TEXT</a>'?

2) a) If so, how would I declare each variable in the same way I did
before?

2) b) If not, how would I write my array?  I want to avoid writing two
arrays where possible.

Please remember, I am a beginner at PHP, I am just learning, so please
be patient ant explain everything to me as simple as possible.

The array definition would be correct.

You need the key and the value, i.e.

foreach($thenumbers as $key=>$value)

A great place to start is with the official doc.  For instance, see 
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php
