how to distinguish an array

[jaydj]

I have a function that passes an array

The function will process and extract the contents of the array depending on what type it is: whether a single dimensional array, two dimensional array, multi-dimensional array etc etc ...

How can I check what kind of array is being passed ?

"How can I check what kind of array is being passed ?"

Try checking for the result of is_array($my_array[0]). Note that adding the zero index specifies that you're looking for an array inside of that element -- which would make it a multidimensional array. If you want to go deeper, try "is_array($my_array[0][0])".

I haven't tested this, but it should work.
