In this lesson, we will see how to select a part of an array in PHP and return the selected part.
Select a part of an array
So to do that we will use the array_slice function that takes the array, the start of the slice, and the number of elements to return as params.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
$names = array("john","jack","maria","lora","carla");
$values = array_slice($names, 1, 2);
echo 'Selected values: '.$values[0]. ' , ' . $values[1];
//result
//Selected values: jack , maria
?>
</body>
</html>
Array with key & value
You can do the same using an array with a key & value.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
$names = array("a" => "john","b" => "jack","c" =>"maria","d" =>"lora","e" => "carla");
$values = array_slice($names, 1, 2);
echo 'Selected values: '.$values["b"]. ' , ' . $values["c"];
//result
//Selected values: jack , maria
?>
</body>
</html>
