second array level

Dear all

How can I directly acces the second level of an array.

At the moment I am doing something like this.

$subset=$ini_array["section"];
$number=$subset["number"];

I would like to increment number by 1 without storing the data in a
different variable.
($ini_array["section"])["number"]

Array
(
[section] => Array
(
[number] => 1
)

)

regards

Reimar

$ini_array["section"]["number"]++;

OR

++$ini_array["section"]["number"];

will do it.

see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/langua...s.increment.php

and
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
see the third example of how to access an item from a multi-dimensional
array directly.
