Initialize array

[Cogen]

Does anyone know how I can initialize a multidimensional array in a class ... example .... (below is not correct)

var $mVariations[]["strName"];
var $mVariations[]["intPrice"];
var $mVariations[]["blnIncluded"];

but this isn't correct either I don't think ...

var $mVariations = array(array());

Thanks Kevin, however I have already read that page and unfortunately still don't get it. Creating an array is easy, but doing the first initializing is where I'm getting confused. Here's another crack at it. Maybe you or someone else could tell me were I'm going wrong?🙁

class InventoryItem {
   //initialize:
   $mVariations[][];

   //constructor:
   function InventoryItem {
      $mVariations = array(
         array(strName=>"", intPrice=>"",  blnIncluded=>false)
       );
   }
}

Okay, I'm starting to think that the reason I can't get this to work is because the PHP arrays cannot do what I'm expecting. For instance, I want the first dimension of the array to be an integer that autoincrements. Then I want each increment of that array to have it's own array of three keys (name, price, included). Is it not possible to initialize an array like that?

Example .

$mVariations[0]["name"] = "TestingVariations";
$mVariations[0]["price"] = "29.98";
$mVariations[0]["included"] = false;

$mVariations[1]["name"] = "TestingTesting";
$mVariations[1]["price"] = "99.99";
$mVariations[1]["included"] = false;

$mVariations[2]["name"] = "AnotherTest";
$mVariations[2]["price"] = "5.49";
$mVariations[2]["included"] = true;

Hi,

try this:

$mVariations = array();
$temp = array();

$temp['name'] = 'TestingVariations';
$temp['price'] = 29.98;
$temp['included'] = false;

$mVariations[] = $temp;

$temp['name'] = 'TestingTesting';
$temp['price'] = 99.99;
$temp['included'] = false;

$mVariations[] = $temp;

$temp['name'] = 'AnotherTest';
$temp['price'] = 5.49;
$temp['included'] = true;

$mVariations[] = $temp;

$mVariations[][];

Should be

var $mVariations;

 $mVariations = array(
         array(strName=>"", intPrice=>"",  blnIncluded=>false)
       );

Should be

$mVariations = array(
         array("strName"=>"", "intPrice"=>"",  "blnIncluded"=>false)
       );

You can also have

$mVariations[] = array("strName"=>"foo", "intPrice"=>"123",  "blnIncluded"=>false);
$mVariations[] = array("strName"=>"bar", "intPrice"=>"456",  "blnIncluded"=>true);

etc.
