It's been awhile since I did any PHP programming so I'm trying to kick of the rust.
I'm trying to create an associative array structure as this.
[results]
[total]
[people]
[name]
[street]
[city]
[state]
[zip]
Currently, I have this.
$people = array( 'name' => '',
'street' => '',
'city' => '',
'state' => '',
'zip' => );
$results = array('total' => 10, --set dynamically
'people' => $people );
So in my head I hope a making an empty multidimensional array that I will be able to populate in a while loop.
First, question is this the proper form? I feel like I'm close but not right. It might be helpful to understand what I'm doing (shown below).
So I as a said I want to fill this in a while loop and this is basically what I have so far. And by so far, I've been unable to get to work.
$i = 0;
while loop
{
$results['people'][i][name] = 'XxXxX'
$results['people'][i][street] = 'XxXxX'
$results['people'][i][city] = 'XxXxX'
$results['people'][i][state] = 'XxXxX'
$results['people'][i][zip] = 'XxXxX'
%i++;
}
I've tried many different combinations of this and have still been unable to get it right. If it matters, I want to take this array and send it back to the browser as a JSON object.
I'm not sure if my initialization is wrong, setting the array in the loop is wrong, or both.
