creating a record data type in PHP

[rkhill]

Hello,

I am tring to create a data type that contains various data fields like a C struct or pascal RECORD. In perl I would do this

$record = {
NAME =>"RON",
AGE =>"35",
SALARY =>"35_000",
};
this will create one record then build a larger structure like this

%byname {$record->{NAME}} = $record;
How can this be done in PHP?

Thanks

Pretty similarly actually...

$record = array (
NAME =>"RON",
AGE =>"35",
SALARY =>"35_000",
);

$byname[$record[NAME]] = $record;

That should work
