Add 2 values to 1 key in a PHP array

Question

I have a result set of data that I want to write to an array in php. Here is my sample data:

**Name** **Abbrev**
Mike     M
Tom      T
Jim      J

Answer 1

PHP's not my top language, but try these:

array_push($values, array("Mike", "M"))
array_push($values, array("Tom", "T"))
array_push($values, array("Jim", "J"))

$name1 = $values[1][0]
$abbrev1 = $values[1][1]

or:

array_push($values, array("name" => "Mike", "abbrev" => "M"))
array_push($values, array("name" => "Tom", "abbrev" => "T"))
array_push($values, array("name" => "Jim", "abbrev" => "J"))

$name1 = $values[1]["name"]
$abbrev1 = $values[1]["abbrev"]

The trick is to use a nested array to pair the names and abbreviations in each entry.
