I have the above array... Now I know getting the value of just a regular array is
echo $array[0]; But these multi-dimensional, multi-array, thingys... whatever ya wanna call them are throwing me way out. How would I get the values of the inner values like [time], [tickets], etc...

[Velox Letum]

Try this:


echo $array[0]['id'];

I believe that is how you display a multidimensional array, but don't count me on it...I havn't used them much.

Well, she doesn't seem to be turning anything up so either your wrong or I'm doing something wrong. But I don't know how I can screw up on something that seems so simple. Thanks for the try though... Anybody else wanna confirm whether he's right or wrong?

What Velox Letum posted is essentially correct. It might not have worked for you because you probably used wrong variable/key names. To get more help, I recommend that you post real PHP code of your multi-dimensional array. Possibly only a short snapshot that exemplifies the problem. What you posted above looks like the output of a print_f() call, but that's not code, only a textual representation of it.

To make it short:

$array_name[0]->id

It's a noraml array which holds objects which have properies (if you'd ask me).

Works like a charm. Thanks.
