arrays

[Jinks]

im having a real hard time getting my multi_dimensional arrays working properly..

$open[1] = array("f" => $start_h, "g" => 0, "h" => $start_h, "x" => $start_x, "y" => $start_y, "parent" => 0 );

I want to first be able to order the array by "f" and search the array for components inside!

Im totally lost! Ive tried reading through all the array syntax on php.net but i just cant figure it out!

"f" is not an array. it is the first key in the array $open[1]

$start_h = 'whatever';
echo $open[1]['f']; // outputs "whatever"
