MyArray['AR'] = 'Arizona'
Languages Focus: Associative Array
Associative arrays are also known as a dictionary or a hash table in other languages.
PHP Associative Array
Declare associative array with initial known values. You can also add to associative array. (You can just assign values without ever declaring it too!)
Syntax Example: $prices = array( 'Tires'=>100, 'Spark Plugs'=>4 );
$prices['Oil'] = 10;
echo "Tires=" . $prices['Tires'] . "<br>";
echo "Oil=" . $prices['Oil'] . "<br>";
