Using extract () function with Multidimensional array?

Hi there,

I am learning PHP recent days and there is still a lot of things that I don't know about yet and trying to figure out how to do thing within php.

Anyway, I just came across extract () function which can extract variables from an array and set every elements in an array as a variable (as I'm sure you know that ). and I think that is just cool.

My question is:

Does the function work with multidimensional array as well?
another question:

Is there any built-in function or any other way to extract variables from multidimensional arrays?

Thanks guys.

 

Do you mean recursive? If so, I don't think so.

$a['one']['two'] = 12;
extract($a);

Will just give
$one = array('two' => 12);

extract() is not really useful, it just adds more useless memory in the script.

 

yes I know and that what I got when tried this function with multidimensional arrays.
so I thought maybe there must be a similar function which works with multidimensional just like exTRact () works and variables from a normal array.

I'm just trying to discover and understand things in PHP as I'm still a newbie.

thanks Kaizoku

if anyone has any other idea please let me know.
