PHP Array Functions

These functions allow you to interact with and manipulate arrays in various ways. Arrays are essential for storing, managing, and operating on sets of variables.

Installation:

There is no installation needed to use these functions; they are part of the PHP core.

Runtime Configuration:

This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.

PHP Array Constants:

ConstantDescription
CASE_LOWERUsed with array_change_key_case() to convert array keys to lower case
CASE_UPPERUsed with array_change_key_case() to convert array keys to upper case
SORT_ASCUsed with array_multisort() to sort in ascending order
SORT_DESCUsed with array_multisort() to sort in descending order
SORT_REGULARUsed to compare items normally
SORT_NUMERICUsed to compare items numerically
SORT_STRINGUsed to compare items as strings
SORT_LOCALE_STRINGUsed to compare items as strings, based on the current locale
COUNT_NORMAL
COUNT_RECURSIVE
EXTR_OVERWRITE
EXTR_SKIP
EXTR_PREFIX_SAME
EXTR_PREFIX_ALL
EXTR_PREFIX_INVALID
EXTR_PREFIX_IF_EXISTS
EXTR_IF_EXISTS
EXTR_REFS

List of Functions:

PHP: indicates the earliest version of PHP that supports the function.
