PHP Arrays: Single, Multi-dimensional, Associative and Object Arrays in PHP 7

This book also covers validation methods to insure that the data provided by a user is good before the data is entered into an array. You’ll see how PHP 7 try/catch modules are used to capture exceptions and errors that may be caused by invalid data.

The code examples demonstrate common real-world scenarios. Moreover, examples of every PHP 7 array function (over 75) are demonstrated. The appendix provides a two-dimensional array case study on the logical design of a checkers game.

PHP Arrays answers the following questions:

• Why do we need arrays? When do we need to use arrays?
• Are arrays efficient? Can arrays reduce coding time?
When do you use multi-dimensional and associative arrays?
• What is an object array?

• Handle array data from an HTML form
• Manage array data from a text file
• Deal with array data from a MySQL database
