php array... can I have more than two values per entry?

Hi all,

I created a class which has to return an array.

My problem is I need to return 3 entries per record for example:

Code:

array( "2009-06-13", "John", "Doe";
       "2009-06-13", "Paul", "Simon";
       "2009-06-12", "Frank", "Herbert";
);

Can this be done? What is the syntax? Where is the documentation?

If this can't be done, How would you return this to a class without using a DB?

Many thanks!

PHP Code:


			
function foo (){

  $result=array( array("2009-06-13", "John", "Doe"),

                 array ("2009-06-13", "Paul", "Simon"),

                 array ("2009-06-12", "Frank", "Herbert")

       );

  return $result;

}

The documentation is on php.net.

or since you are using classes already you can create a class that holds the three values in question and the array elements will be instances of the class.

Thanks guys sorry for the late answer!

I like the idea of the Class but I'll get to that a little further down the line of my newb education
