I am new to using multidimensional arrays with php, I have tried to stay away from them because they confused me, but now the time has come that I put them to good use. I have been trying to understand how they work and I am just not getting it.
What I am trying to do is populate results based on a string compare function, once I find some match to an 'item name', I would like the first slot to contain the 'item name', then I would like to increment the priority slot by 1.
So when when I'm all done populating my array, it is going to have a variety of different company names, each with their respective priority...
I am having trouble understanding how to declare and manipulate the following array:
$matches = array(
'name'=>array('somename'),
'priority'=>array($priority_level++)
);
