 There are number of useful functions which can be used to obtain information about PHP arrays and also some functions that have not been covered in detail in this chapter. The following table lists these functions and provides descriptions:

 A multidimensional PHP array is nothing more than an array in which each array element is itself an array. A multidimensional array can, therefore, be thought of as a table, where each element in the parent array represents a row of the table and the elements of each child array represent the columns of the row.
-The following PHP script provides an example of a mutlidimensional array where the books array is assigned an array for each element containing title and author information for each book:

 == Using PHP Array Pointers ==
-PHP arrays maintain an internal pointer which records the current element. This pointer can be changed using the ''next'', ''previous'', ''reset'' and ''end'' functions. The ''reset'' and ''end'' functions move the pointer to the first and last elements of the array respectively. The ''next'' function moves the pointer on to the next array element. The ''prev'' moves the pointer to the previous array element. The ''next'' and ''prev'' functions return false when it is not possible to move any further in the corresponding direction.

 == Replacing Sections of an Array ==
-Entire blocks of array elementd can be modified using the ''array_splice()'' function. The ''array_splice()'' function takes two mandatory and two optional arguments. The first argument is the name of the array on which the function is to work. The second argument specifies the index into the array where the splice is to take effect. The optional third argument specifies the end point of the splice (if the third argument is omitted the end of the array is assumed). The final argument is an optional array containing elements to be used to replace the removed items.
