Global array in php issues - php

Question

I've found some very helpful answers but still have some problems.
I want to put different rows in global array, WITHOUT removing the other rows.
<?php
global $global_arr;
function first() {
///some code
global $global_arr;
$global_arr[] = array('first' =>
array('1' , '1', '1'));
}
function second() {
///some code
global $global_arr;
$global_arr[] = array('second' =>
array('2' , '2', '2'));
}
function third() {
///some code
global $global_arr;
$global_arr[] = array('third' =>
array('3' , '3', '3'));
}
first();
second();
third();
print_r($global_arr);
I want every of the functions to index the array and add rows respectevly
Thank you in advance!
Edit :
Thank to your help here is the working version :
function first($arr) {
$arr[] = array('first' =>
array(1, 1, 1));
return $arr;
}
function second($arr) {
$arr[] = array('second' =>
array(2, 2, 2));
return $arr;
}
$arr = array();
$arr = first($arr);
$arr = second($arr);
print_r($arr);
Output :
Array ( [0] => Array ( [first] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 1 [2] => 1 ) ) [1] => Array ( [second] => Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 2 [2] => 2 ) ) )
Any ideas how to be only :
Array ( [first] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 1 [2] => 1) , [second] => Array([0] => 2, [1] => 2, [2] => 2))
?

Answer 1

$global_arr['third'][] = array('3.1' , '3.2', '3.3');

Answer 2

I don't get it - it's the same in/for all three functions.
BTW, I would use only one function like:
<?php
// $arg1 = "one", "two" or "three"
// $arg2 = ARRAY("data1.1", "data1.2", "data1.3") {
function myfunc($arg1, $arg2) {
if (!isset($my_arr)) { static $my_arr = ARRAY(); }
$my_arr[$arg1][] = $arg2;
return $my_arr; // Or code a getter and setter function
}
// Call, as often as you want - like:
myfunc('one', ARRAY('1.1', '1.2','1.3'));
myfunc('two', ARRAY('2.1', '2.2','2.3'));
$arr = myfunc('one', ARRAY('1.4', '1.5','1.6'));
print '<pre>';
var_dump($arr);
print '</pre>';
/* result:
array(2) {
["one"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(3) "1.1"
[1]=>
string(3) "1.2"
[2]=>
string(3) "1.3"
}
[1]=>
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(3) "1.4"
[1]=>
string(3) "1.5"
[2]=>
string(3) "1.6"
}
}
["two"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(3) "2.1"
[1]=>
string(3) "2.2"
[2]=>
string(3) "2.3"
}
}
}
*/
?>

Why you want to use global variable? You can simply write
function first($arr) {
$arr[] = array('first' =>
array('3' , '3', '3'));
return $arr;
}
function second($arr) {
$arr[] = array('second' =>
array('3' , '3', '3'));
return $arr;
}
function third($arr) {
$arr[] = array('third' =>
array('3' , '3', '3'));
return $arr;
}
$arr = array();
$arr = first($arr);
$arr = second($arr);
$arr = third($arr);
