Putting an array within an array?

[Phil Latio]

Still having fun trying to build the perfect form and validation classes and
wondered if anyone can help on the following.

In the following function, how can I make $validationpara meters an array so
it can accept multiple values that I can iterate through? Don't need the
iteration part (yet).

function setField($type, $name, $value, $style, $label,
$validationpara meter)
{
$this->number_of_fiel ds++;
$this->fields[] = array('type'=>$ type, 'name'=>$name, 'value'=>$value ,
'style'=>$style , 'label'=>$label ,
'validationpara meters'=>$valid ationparameters );
}

This is part written function that I will use to pass the multiple values to
the array.

function setValidationPa rameters($numbe r, $parameter)
{
$this->fields[$number][validationparam eter] = $parameter;
}

I am beginning to confuse myself and wondering if anyone can add some sanity
to what I am doing.

Cheers

unless you are telling php that 'validationpara ter' should be interpreted as
a string value:

$this->fields[$number][validationparam eter] = $parameter;

should be:

$this->fields[$number][$validationpara meter] = $parameter;

however, where would it come from in that function. in either case, with the
code as-is as posted here, the value of the field with key $number will have
a blank array element and its value will be the value of the $parameter the
last time you called the function...whic h is probably not what you were
going for.

PLUS, please keep your casing consistent with best practices...eit her camel
case, pascal case, or underscore your variables:

$validationPara meter;
$ValidationPara meter;
$validation_par ameter;

respectively.
