Hi guys i would like to add a new item to an array but i want it to be an associative array... how do i accomplish this?

Let say i have a variable $arrayContainer.
Now i have a data of cities like "United State" = "UN", "Philippines" = "PH", now i want when i get the value $arrayContainer["UN"] this will output "United State"... how do i accomplish that? and also what if i would like to add another associative value let say i decided that i want to add the key "UAE" to display "United Arab Emirates"... How do i accomplish this?

I was thinking like this

PHP

$array["city"] = array('cebu' => 'c', 'davao' => 'd', 'manila' => 'm', 'zamboanga' => 'z');

array_push('radio' => 'r',$array["city"] );
echo $array["city"]["radio"];

Thanks in advance guys

Well I am not sure I understand your question and it has been a while since I used PHP but is this what your looking for.

for associative array of associative arrays.

PHP

$container = array('country' => array('US'  => 'United States'));
$container['country']['UN'] = 'United Nations';
$container['country']['PH'] = 'Philippines';
echo $container['country']['US'];
echo $container['country']['UN'];
echo $container['country']['PH'];

for single associative array

PHP

$countries = array('UN' => 'United Nations');
$countries['US'] = 'United States';
$countries['PH'] = 'Philippines';
echo $countries['UN'];
echo $countries['US'];
echo $countries['PH'];

EDIT: you could even get crazy if you wanted and do something like this. :)

PHP

$countries = array('UN' => 'United Nations');
$countries['US'] = 'United States';
$countries['PH'] = 'Philippines';
$countries['other_countries'] = array('PL' => 'Poland');
$countries['other_countries']['RO'] = 'Romania';
echo $countries['UN'];
echo $countries['US'];
echo $countries['PH'];
echo $countries['other_countries']['PL'];
echo $countries['other_countries']['RO'];
