- \$\begingroup\$ It's a long time since I programmed in PHP, but how does it know North, South, West and East are strings without double-quotes around them? Is this because of the empty String that shares the same array? If yes, does this also mean you cannot have an array with different types at once (like an array with both a string and an integer)? \$\endgroup\$Kevin Cruijssen– Kevin Cruijssen2017-03-24 12:32:27 +00:00Commented Mar 24, 2017 at 12:32
- 1\$\begingroup\$ @KevinCruijssen North is a constant php.net/manual/en/language.constants.php If the constant not exists it will be interpreted as string. An array in PHP can contain different types. strings can be specified in four ways php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php \$\endgroup\$Jörg Hülsermann– Jörg Hülsermann2017-03-24 12:56:40 +00:00Commented Mar 24, 2017 at 12:56

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. code-golf), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
