array suggestions

[mfacer]

Hi Guys... I need to store the following information, but am not sure how's best to do it. Here's an example...

ProcessID = 1.01
Total Cost = 333
Total Staff = 23
*Total Time = 32

Process = 1.02
Total Cost = 34556
Total Staff = 12
*Total Time = 112

So basically the processID is the identifier and UNDER that I need to store the values of total cost, staff and time. I thought of an array like

array(array(2.01(array(totalcost,totalstaff,totaltime)))

would that work?

My next question would then be how do I actually populate this array... would I use array_push as I am looping through my results??

thanks for any advice...

If I understand correctly, you need an array of processes. This is an 'associative array' where you set the key as well as value.

This element in the processes array then needs to store the values etc.

e.g.

<?

$processId = "1.01";
$process = array('TotalCost' => 333, 'TotalStaff' => 23, 'TotalTime' => 32);

$processes[$processId] = $process;

// access this element
print "Total cost is " . $processes["1.01"]['TotalStaff'];

?>

I hope this helps. If not please try to explain further and I'll try harder :-)
