$ary['x']= array('a'=>'y')... VS $ary['x']['a']= y...

Hi,
What is difference/better between:

PHP Code:


		
			
$ary['x']= array('a'=>11111, 'b'=>22222, 'c'=>33333... );



VS



$ary['x']['a']= 11111;

$ary['x']['b']= 22222;

$ary['x']['c']= 33333;

...

? :)
Thanks for help.

Not a whole lot. The second is more typing I suppose.

And readability, I suppose. It's a personal preference, but I prefer to format my arrays like so:

php Code:

$ary['x'] = array
(
    'a' => 11111,
    'b' => 22222,
    'c' => 33333
);
