PHP Associative Array

PHP allows you to associate name/label with each array elements in PHP using => symbol. Such way, you can easily remember the element because each element is represented by label than an incremented number.

Definition

There are two ways to define associative array:

1st way:

  1. $salary=array("Sonoo"=>"550000","Vimal"=>"250000","Ratan"=>"200000");  

2nd way:

  1. $salary["Sonoo"]="550000";  
  2. $salary["Vimal"]="250000";  
  3. $salary["Ratan"]="200000";  

Example

File: arrayassociative1.php

  1. <?php    
  2. $salary=array("Sonoo"=>"550000","Vimal"=>"250000","Ratan"=>"200000");  
  3. echo "Sonoo salary: ".$salary["Sonoo"]."<br/>";  
  4. echo "Vimal salary: ".$salary["Vimal"]."<br/>";  
  5. echo "Ratan salary: ".$salary["Ratan"]."<br/>";  
  6. ?>    

Output:

Sonoo salary: 550000Vimal salary: 250000Ratan salary: 200000

File: arrayassociative2.php

  1. <?php    
  2. $salary["Sonoo"]="550000";  
  3. $salary["Vimal"]="250000";  
  4. $salary["Ratan"]="200000";   
  5. echo "Sonoo salary: ".$salary["Sonoo"]."<br/>";  
  6. echo "Vimal salary: ".$salary["Vimal"]."<br/>";  
  7. echo "Ratan salary: ".$salary["Ratan"]."<br/>";  
  8. ?>    

Output:

Sonoo salary: 550000Vimal salary: 250000Ratan salary: 200000

Traversing PHP Associative Array

By the help of PHP for each loop, we can easily traverse the elements of PHP associative array.

  1. <?php    
  2. $salary=array("Sonoo"=>"550000","Vimal"=>"250000","Ratan"=>"200000");  
  3. foreach($salary as $k => $v) {  
  4. echo "Key: ".$k." Value: ".$v."<br/>";  
  5. }  
  6. ?>    

Output:

Key: Sonoo Value: 550000Key: Vimal Value: 250000Key: Ratan Value: 200000
