Re: associative arrays

hello!

What if you put fruit and nut into the arrays? Something like this:

$sampleArray = [];
$sampleArray['nuts'] = ['nuts'=>[treeNuts'=>'walnut']];
$sampleArray['fruit'] = ['fruit'=>['notUsuallyFruit'=>['tomatoe'=>true,
'avacado'=>true, 'eggplant'=>true]]];


Just guessing! Hope this helps!
