Please explain this line of code. Thanks

Could someone explain the code below. What I'm trying to do is get $_POST variable where the name, address, city, state and zip code is in the code.


$info=array(1=>array('line1'=>'John Smith', 'line2'=>'1000 First Street', 'line3'=>'PO Box 123', 'line4'=>'Anytown, CA 41000'),
2=>array('line1'=>'Bill Gates', 'line2'=>'456 Money Way', 'line4'=>'Seattle, WA 16456'),
3=>array('line1'=>'Steve Jobs', 'line2'=>'1 Inifinite Loop', 'line4'=>'Cupertino, CA 42389'));



Thanks

It's an array assignment. It's the same thing as doing this:


$info[1]['line1'] = 'John Smith';
$info[1]['line2'] = '1000 First Street';
$info[1]['line3'] = 'PO Box 123';
$info[1]['line4'] = 'Anytown, CA 41000';
$info[2]['line1'] = 'Bill Gates';
$info[2]['line2'] = '456 Money Way';
$info[2]['line4'] = 'Seattle, WA 16456';
$info[3]['line1'] = 'Steve Jobs';
$info[3]['line2'] = '1 Inifinite Loop';
$info[3]['line4'] = 'Cupertino, CA 42389';

how would I get variables in the place of the name, address etc in the array

I have tried several things but none won't work

Thanks

$info[1]['line1'] = ?;
$info[1]['line2'] = ?;
$info[1]['line3'] = '?';
$info[1]['line4'] = '?';

Please be patient when awaiting an answer. Posting again with an "Anyone?" only a couple hours later will not get you a faster response.

Storing a variable into an array:
$name = 'John Smith'; // Variable $name storing the name John Smith
$info[1]['line1'] = $name; // Store the contents of the $name variable into array
Just an observation of mine, but if you don't know how to use variables, you may want to run through a PHP tutorial before continuing to deal with multidimensional arrays. I mean no disrespect in that comment, but it'll save you lots of time in the future.

Agreed. Your question is no more important than anyone else's, and this is not real-time chat. It is still sitting right there in all it's original splendor for anyone to see.

This question makes very little sense. Do you mean you'd like the _POST values to populate the arrays? If so, just assign $_POST['XXX'] as an array value rather than hard-coding string values.
