access specific values from an array using the array
variable's name, followed by the
element's key (sometimes
called the
index) within square brackets:

$age['Fred']
$shows[2] Tech

Why this ad?

equivalent to integer numbers (without leading zeros) are interview

integers. Thus, $array[3] and
$array['3'] reference the same element, but
$array['03'] references a different
element.
