存储3级信息需要多维数组？

Question

I'm working on a PHP script to hold a lot of information. Lets try to explain our situation!

I have actually 33 different stations. For each of that 33 stations I have 5 different categories. And for each of that 33 stations with each 5 different categories i have 37 different values per category.

Do I need an 2d of 3d array for store this information in it ?

Thanks you!

Something like this will work, just add more data as needed:

$station_array =  
    array(
        'station1' => array(
            'cat1' => array ('val1','val2','val3'),
            'cat2' => array ('val1','val2','val3'),
            'cat3' => array ('val1','val2','val3')
        ),
        'station2' => array (
            'cat1' => array ('val1','val2','val3'),
            'cat2' => array ('val1','val2','val3'),
            'cat3' => array ('val1','val2','val3')
        ),
        'station3' => array (
            'cat1' => array ('val1','val2','val3'),
            'cat2' => array ('val1','val2','val3'),
            'cat3' => array ('val1','val2','val3')
        )
    );
