I'm attempting to add a couple of columns to a multidimensional PHP array inside a loop. Inside the loop I currently have this: 

$html[]['strongsNum'] = $strongsCode;
$html[]['wordNum'] = $wordNumber;

However, because I'm not setting the index manually, it creates two separate entries for the two. How can I make it add the two columns to the one entry / row of the array?

try:

$html[] = array(
  'strongsNum' => $strongsCode,
  'wordNum' => $wordNumber,
);

Thanks a lot! That definitely makes sense, since a multidimensional array is essentially an array within an array. –  Adam Mar 19 '12 at 19:52

If you don't want to use the array(key => value) syntax:

After adding the initial 'strongsNum', you can re-access the last member of your array by using count($myArray)-1 as the index.

$html[]['strongsNum'] = $strongsCode;
$html[count($html) - 1]['wordNum'] = $wordNumber;

I'd use array(key => value). This doesn't read very good. –  AndrewR Mar 19 '12 at 19:59
    
I just want people to know that this is an option. –  Jake May 4 '12 at 14:57
