Name

array

Synopsis

array array([mixed ...])

Creates an array using the parameters as elements in the array. By using the => operator, you can specify specific indexes for any elements; if no indexes are given, the elements are assigned indexes starting from 0 and incrementing by one. The internal pointer (see current , reset , and next ) is set to the first element.

$array = array("first", 3 => "second", "third", "fourth" => 4);

Note: array is actually a language construct, used to denote literal arrays, but its usage is similar to that of a function, so it’s included here.
