[RESOLVED] array_push onto multidim array

[Kurtismonger]

I have a multidim array called $totals that is populated from a database query. It consists of a part number and then an array of defect quantities for that part. I'm trying to push the part description onto the 2nd dimension. I can push it on the array with the code below, but I appear to be setting it as the key not the value because if I do a print_r it shows up as "partDescription =>"

//push onto 2nd dimension
array_push($totals[$row['Part']][$row['Description']]);

I'm not sure how to specify the key and the value when referencing a row returned from a database query.

It is strange to me that you do not get any notice
because [man]array_push[/man] needs at least 2 arguments
separated by a comma

Maybe you have [man]error_reporting[/man] turned off?

<?php

error_reporting( E_ALL );

//push onto 2nd dimension
array_push( $totals[$row['Part']]   [$row['Description']] );

// here is the basic use
array_push( $totals[$row['Part']],  $something_to_push  );

?>

Good point, I'd tried it with two arguments previously but couldn't get it to work. However your code gave me the direction I needed.

Here is what worked:

		$desc = $row['Description'];
		array_push($totals[$row['Part']], $desc);

This results in 0=>partname
Still not clear on how to add a key value of say "Description", but I don't care in this case that its 0
