Numeric Array


These arrays can store numbers, strings and any object but their index will be prepresented by numbers. By default array index starts from zero.

Example

Following is the example showing how to create and access numeric arrays.

Here we have used array() function to create array. This function is explained in function reference.

<html>
<body>
<?php
/* First method to create array. */
$numbers = array( 10,9,8,7,6);
foreach( $numbers as $value )
{
  echo "Value is $value <br />";
}
/* Second method to create array. */
$numbers[0] = "one";
$numbers[1] = "two";
$numbers[2] = "three";
$numbers[3] = "four";
$numbers[4] = "five";

foreach( $numbers as $value )
{
  echo "Value is $value <br />";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

This will produce following result:

Value is 10
Value is 9
Value is 8
Value is 7
Value is 6
Value is one
Value is two
Value is three
Value is four
Value is five
