Multi Dimension Array

Dear all,

I have a question about multi-dimension array in PHP

$m = 2;
$def = "Hello";
$abc[$m] = $def;
print "$abc[$m] \n";

This works and gives "Hello" as output.

However, if I do this:
$n = 3;
$m = 2;
$def = "Hello";
$ghi[$m][$n] = $def;
print "$ghi[$m][$n] \n";

This gives me something strange, like "Array[2]" as output,
but not "Hello".

How can this be rectified to print out "Hello" as stored in
$ghi[2][3] in this case?

Thanks,
LaBird (Benny).

print "{$ghi[$m][$n]} \n";

php is good at interpreting what you mean, but it's not perfect. Sometimes
you gotta help it, like by surrounding a multidimensional array reference by
{} parenthesis when it's inside of a string.

Hello,
if you want to use array variables in strings try these alternatives:
print "{$ghi[$m][$n]} \n";
or
print $ghi[$m][$n]." \n";
