PHP: How do I echo the results of this array?

Question

$header_content = array();
$header_content['pageone'][] = array(
    'image' => 'photo-one.png',
    'desc'  => "One. Some text here.",
);
$header_content['pagetwo'][] = array(
    'image' => 'photo-two.png',
    'desc'  => "Two. Some text here.",
);

I do not want to echo the entire array, just certain parts when called... like $header_content['pageone']['image'], except this doesn't work... How do you go about echoing parts of an array?

I have searched but it's all a little confusing right now for me. Thanks.

To print array details use print_r($header_content['pageone']); — Praveen Dabral, May 06 '15 at 04:36
`$header_content['pageone'][0]['image']` or remove the `[]` in your declaration — Rizier123, May 06 '15 at 04:36
^@Rizier123 's answer is perfect but if you want to check how your array looks like you can use `print_r` or `var_dump()` for your array_structure — Narendrasingh Sisodia, May 06 '15 at 04:40
I wasn't paying attention to the additional `[]`, makes a lot of sense now though — Matthew, May 06 '15 at 04:47

Define it like -

$header_content['pagetwo'] = array(
'image' => 'photo-two.png',
'desc'  => "Two. Some text here.",
);

The keys are different pageone, pagetwo. No need of that extra index i think. And then access it - echo $header_dontent['pagetwo']['image'];

That does make more sense, not sure why I was adding an extra index actually – Matthew May 06 '15 at 04:42

For printing array values, you can use :

print_r function

Example : print_r($array) Specific key data can be accessed through : print_r($array[$key])

OR

var_dump function

Example : var_dump($array) Specific key data can be accessed through : var_dump($array[$key])

so what is the difference between echoing an array value and using print_r? – Matthew May 06 '15 at 04:49

use it like $header_content['pageone'][0]['image']
Since

$header_content['pageone'][] = array();

[] appends an element at the end of an array.
