Re: PHP Complex Data Structures

[Brent Baisley <brent@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I find PHP arrays easier than Perl's data structures. Probably because 
PHP just has arrays, there really is no differentiation between arrays 
(Perl @) and hashes (Perl %). And PHP references arrays the same way as 
variables ($), which may or may not be confusing. You could probably 
look at PHP arrays as Perl hashes (name/value pairs). The functions are 
just about the same: push, pop, shift, unshift, etc.

If you think of all PHP arrays as Perl hashes, you should grasp things 
pretty quick.
