The same document would look like this when contained in an array in PHP:
$contact = array(
"First Name" => "Philip",
"Last Name" => "Moran",
"Address" => array(
"Street" => "681 Hinkle Lake Road",
"Place" => "Newton",
"Postal Code" => "MA 02160",
"Country" => "USA"
)
,
"E-Mail" => array(
"
pm@example.com
"
,
"
pm@office.com
"
,
"
philip@example.com
"
,
"
philip@office.com
"
,
"
moran@example.com
"
,
"
moran@office.com
"
,
"
pmoran@example.com
"
,
),
"Phone" => "617-546-8428",
"Age" => 60
);
The two versions of the document look a lot alike. The obvious difference is that the colon (:) is replaced as
the key/value separator by an arrow-like symbol (=>) in PHP. You will get used to these syntactical differences
relatively quickly.
