Array with 2 columms

[Anon]

I want to store two string values in a 2 columms array like this:

I am not good at arrays in php. So, I don't know if it is right?

a[1]["à"]="a";
a[2]["ã"]="a";
a[2]["á"]="a";

Now I want to read string using a for statment until the max size of the string and check if it encounters one of the values above, for example, "à", then replace it with the correct character, "a".

I don't have any idea of how to implement that using php.

I would appreciate any help.

Thank

Manuals are very interesting:

-- quote from the manual --

Multi-Dimensional Arrays

Multi-dimensional arrays are actually pretty simple. For each dimension of the array, you add another [key] value to the end:

$a[1] = $f; # one dimensional examples
$a["foo"] = $f;

$a[1][0] = $f; # two dimensional
$a["foo"][2] = $f; # (you can mix numeric and associative indices)
$a[3]["bar"] = $f; # (you can mix numeric and associative indices)

$a["foo"][4]["bar"][0] = $f; # four dimensional!

-- end quote --

and there are lots more functions for working with arrays, including functions that search an array for a value.

Manuals are your friends.
