You cannot do that. An array element can hold a scalar, i.e. a string, a number, or a reference. The reference can be a "handle" to another array, so you can say
but that's probably not what you want; printing $KS[1] will produce something like ARRAY (0x1CC01BED) and you have to use ${$KS[1]}[0] to access the first element of @kr, etc.
Another option would be to use splice to replace $KS[1] with all the elements of @kr, meaning $KS[1] will be the first element or @kr, $KS[2] will be the second, etc. http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/splice.html

Suppose there are two arrays of arrays:
@A = ( , , , );
@B = ( , , , , );
For each of $A, $A, $A..., I want to find the corresponding one in @B (match the letter, like $A eq $B), and print out both the second item, for example, $A and $B.
How can I do this in perl? grep + map? Hope I... (1 Reply)
PHP question...I posted this on the Web Development forum, but maybe this is a better place!
I have an SQL query that's pulled back user IDs as a set of columns. Rather than IDs, I want to use their names.
So I have an array of columns $col with values 1,7,3,12 etc and I've got an array $person... (3 Replies)
Hi All
I need to get <STDIN> from a user. the <STDIN> is a range of number delimited by "," (comma) and can be with range delimited by "-".

I hate I'm asking for help again. Unfortunately it seems there just aren't any links I can find on making an array that holds a bunch of two dimensional arrays. Maybe my google-fu is lacking. Basically I have a header file like this:
#define MATRIX 10
int white_l1;
int white_l2;

Corona688 was great in helping me learn how to create arrays that hold other two dimensional array here. Unfortunately I didn't think ask about how to implement or call them. Basically, I'm trying to call an array of two-dimensional arrays like this:

int (*side_one) = { { white_l1,... (6 Replies)
Le sigh... Hopefully this will be the last time I have to ask for help on this topic. For a while now I've been working with a 1d array that holds 2d arrays. For reference you can view here. Now I'm just trying to loop through the elements with the following:

key
KEY(3) 1 KEY(3)key - Fetch a key from an arraySYNOPSIS
mixed key (array &$array)
DESCRIPTION key(3) returns the index element of the current array position.
PARAMETERS
o $array
- The array.
RETURN VALUES
The key(3) function simply returns the key of the array element that's currently being pointed to by the internal pointer. It does not
move the pointer in any way. If the internal pointer points beyond the end of the elements list or the array is empty, key(3) returns NULL.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
key(3) example
<?php
$array = array(
'fruit1' => 'apple',
'fruit2' => 'orange',
'fruit3' => 'grape',
'fruit4' => 'apple',
'fruit5' => 'apple');
// this cycle echoes all associative array
// key where value equals "apple"
while ($fruit_name = current($array)) {
if ($fruit_name == 'apple') {
echo key($array).'<br />';
}
next($array);
}
?>
The above example will output:
fruit1<br />
fruit4<br />
fruit5<br />
SEE ALSO current(3), next(3).
