In PHP, you can create an indexed array that contains associative arrays as elements. This is useful when you need to store multiple sets of key-value pairs.

Here's an example of how to create an indexed array that contains associative arrays:



// Define the first associative array
$array1 = array("name" => "John", "age" => 30, "location" => "New York");

// Define the second associative array
$array2 = array("name" => "Jane", "age" => 25, "location" => "Los Angeles");

// Create an indexed array that contains the two associative arrays
$myArray = array($array1, $array2);

// Access the elements of the indexed array
echo $myArray[0]["name"]; // Outputs "John"
echo $myArray[1]["location"]; // Outputs "Los Angeles"

In this example, we define two associative arrays $ array1 and $[quote]
array2
. We then create an indexed array $ myArray that contains the two associative arrays as elements. To access the elements of the indexed array, we use square brackets ) to specify the index of the element we want to access, and then we use the associative array syntax ([" key "]) to access the value of a specific key within the associative array.

Note that you can also create an indexed array by using a loop to add multiple associative arrays to the array. For example:



// Define an empty indexed array
$myArray = array();

// Define the first associative array and add it to the indexed array
$array1 = array("name" => "John", "age" => 30, "location" => "New York");
$myArray[] = $array1;

// Define the second associative array and add it to the indexed array
$array2 = array("name" => "Jane", "age" => 25, "location" => "Los Angeles");
$myArray[] = $array2;

// Access the elements of the indexed array
echo $myArray[0]["name"]; // Outputs "John"
echo $myArray[1]["location"]; // Outputs "Los Angeles"

In this example, we first define an empty indexed array $myArray. We then define two associative arrays $array1 and $array2, and add them to the indexed array using the [] operator. Finally, we access the elements of the indexed array in the same way as in the previous example.
