Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Can there be multi-dimensional variable arrays in borne shell? Post 21365 by Perderabo on Wednesday 15th of May 2002 03:29:51 PM

If you need arrays you really should consider switching to ksh or bash. If that is really not possible, you can use eval to simulate arrays but the syntax and quoting concerns are nasty....

# simulate a[index]=string
index=5
eval a${index}=string

What this really did of course is create a vaiable called a5 which got the value. But you also could have an a4 variable and so on.

# simulate echo ${a[index]}

eval echo \$a${index}

# simulate x=${a[index]}

eval x=\$a${index}

GMP_SETBIT(3)								 1							     GMP_SETBIT(3)

gmp_setbit - Set bit

SYNOPSIS
void gmp_setbit (GMP &$a, int $index, [bool $bit_on = true]) DESCRIPTION
Sets bit $index in $a. PARAMETERS
o $a - The value to modify. Either a GMP number resource in PHP 5.5 and earlier, a GMP object in PHP 5.6 and later, or a numeric string provided that it is possible to convert the latter to a number. o $index - The index of the bit to set. Index 0 represents the least significant bit. o $bit_on - True to set the bit (set it to 1/on); false to clear the bit (set it to 0/off). RETURN VALUES
A GMP number resource in PHP 5.5 and earlier, or a GMP object in PHP 5.6 and later. EXAMPLES
Example #1 gmp_setbit(3) example - 0 index <?php $a = gmp_init("2"); // echo gmp_strval($a), ' -> 0b', gmp_strval($a, 2), " "; gmp_setbit($a, 0); // 0b10 now becomes 0b11 echo gmp_strval($a), ' -> 0b', gmp_strval($a, 2), " "; ?> The above example will output: 2 -> 0b10 3 -> 0b11 Example #2 gmp_setbit(3) example - 1 index <?php $a = gmp_init("0xfd"); echo gmp_strval($a), ' -> 0b', gmp_strval($a, 2), " "; gmp_setbit($a, 1); // index starts at 0 echo gmp_strval($a), ' -> 0b', gmp_strval($a, 2), " "; ?> The above example will output: 253 -> 0b11111101 255 -> 0b11111111 Example #3 gmp_setbit(3) example - clearing a bit <?php $a = gmp_init("0xff"); echo gmp_strval($a), ' -> 0b', gmp_strval($a, 2), " "; gmp_setbit($a, 0, false); // clear bit at index 0 echo gmp_strval($a), ' -> 0b', gmp_strval($a, 2), " "; ?> The above example will output: 255 -> 0b11111111 254 -> 0b11111110 NOTES
Note Unlike most of the other GMP functions, gmp_setbit(3) must be called with a GMP resource that already exists (using gmp_init(3) for example). One will not be automatically created. SEE ALSO
gmp_clrbit(3), gmp_testbit(3). PHP Documentation Group GMP_SETBIT(3)
