PHP Class room:Array function in php

Php ClassRoom

This edition will explain the Array function in PHP

PHP Array Introduction
The array functions allow you to manipulate arrays.

PHP supports both simple and multi-dimensional arrays. There are also specific functions for populating arrays from database queries.
Installation
The array functions are part of the PHP core. There is no installation needed to use these functions.
