[RESOLVED] Adding to an Array in Multi Multidimensional Array

[Sops21]

I have a Multidimensional array.

$playerid = 5;
$finaldraft = array();
$playerchoice = some number pulled from the database

$finaldraft[] = array($playerid, array($playerchoice));

This store the information properly, but later on in the code I need to add onto the array inside the first one. I can't figure out how to add onto the interior array. Ive tried running

$playerid = 5;
$player2ndchoice = another number pulled from the database
$finaldraft[] = array($playerid, array($player2ndchoice));

But all this does is just a a row in the main array.

As you can see from the output:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => 10
            [1] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 5
                )

    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [0] => 10
        [1] => Array
            (
                [0] => 12
            )
    )
)

Any ideas?

Does this even make sense. Let me know if it does not and I'll try to explain it another way.

You would have to know which index to add it to, e.g.:

$finaldraft[0][1][] = $player2ndchoice;

If you don't have a convenient way of knowing that, then you'd probably have to loop through it until you find it:

foreach($finaldraft as $ix => $arr)
{
   if($arr[0] == $playerid)
   {
      $finaldraft[$ix][1][] = $player2ndchoice;
   }
}

Of course, a better solution might be to rethink this data structure. Maybe you should be using the player id as the first index?

$finaldraft[$playerid]['choices'][] = $firstchoice;
$finaldraft[$playerid]['choices'][] = $secondchoice;

I decided to go with that approach. It made it very simple and to the point. Thanks for that suggestion.
