Creating a PHP Array
Elements of an array are accessed using a key. There are two types of array depending on the type of key that is used to access an array element. In a numerical key array elements are accessed by specifying the numerical position of the item in the array. The first item in an array is element 0, the second is element 1 and so on. The second type of array is the ''associative array'' where a name is given to each element and that name is used to access the corresponding array element.
