I have a TOUGH time wrapping my head around the strange php array design. All I need to do is use a matrix with numeric indexes for each dimension. Somehow, EVERY example uses names for the "columns" in the second index. If I want that, I’ll use SQL.

Sorry, complaining won’t help. I’d love to see how this would work for a normal 2 dim array like
0 1 2 3
0 (0,0) (0,1) (0,2) (0,3)

2

4 (4,0) (4,1) (4,2) (4,4)

I want to sort all 5 rows based on any of the column NUMBERS (there are no names).

I’m pretty new to PHP but not to programming. Perhaps someone could help break the logjam in my head that REFUSES to understand arrays inside arrays with names instead of numbers, but most importantly, how to make the sort work!
Thanks.
