Array Tutorial by Matt Wade

I appreciate this tutorial.

The second to last example,

<?PHP
$books = array(0=>array('name'='A Book','price'=>9.99),1=>array('name'='Another Book','price'=>17.99));
?>

gave me an error.

I'm not hip with PHP. However, changing the 'name'='A Book' and 'name'='Another Book' to => instead of = seemed to solve the problem.

What is the significance of => ? It seems confusing to me because I see it as "equal to or greater than". Is the => supposed to represent an arrow?

In this case it does represent an arrow (in mathematics => means "this causes the following".)

$books=array('name'=>'book','price'=>9.99);

After this line you can use the following code:

echo $books['name'] . ": ";
echo $books['price'] . "<br>n";

and it will output:

book: 9.99

I hope it now makes some sense to you.
