change value of a key of an array within an array in php?

Question

I have an array within an array like:

$some_large_array = array(
    'person' => array('name' => 'stefanie', 'hobby' => 'rock climbing',),
    'dog' => array('name' => 'orbit', 'hobby' => 'chewing curtains'));

How can I change the value of of 'hobby' of 'dog' and return it as 'napping'?

Answer 1

You can access array keys like this, in your example:

$some_large_array['dog']['hobby'] = 'napping';
