[RESOLVED] Fun with Multi-dimensonal arrays

[dougal85]

example array entry.

$array['string1']['string2']['string3']

for understand purposes;
string1 is a page name
string2 is a role (IE. admin)
string3 is the name of a function (IE. delete user)

I've not sure if I'm storing this the best way, the multidimensional array is the best thing i can think of. better suggestions more than welcome. it's 2:40 am (GMT) ... so I'm not surprised if i missed something. Basically I want to store the name of a page, an array of the functions that page has and the role requirements for the function.

How do I find something by what is in string2?

IE;

echo $string[]['whatiwant'][];

EDIT Oh year, i forgot There is no way of knowing how many there will be of each, as I had already considered 3 different arrays or however many i need, but the whole idea is to make it expandable.

I'd probably do something like:

$data = array(
  array(
    'pagename' => 'name 1',
    'role' => 'admin',
    'function' => 'delete user'
  ),
  array(
    'pagename' => 'name 2',
    'role' => 'admin',
    'function' => 'add user'
  )  

);

In this case, you'd access the first page name as $data[0]['pagename'], or the second role as $data[1]['role'].

ofcourse... silly me.

Thanks that makes more sense than my idea.
