 PHP has two compound types: [array][array] and [object][object]. The object data type will be introduced in a later topic. An array can be seen as a list of values. These values can consist of all the different data types PHP offers. Instead of creating separate variables as in the previous example we could have also created an array to hold these values:
 
     <?php
-    $someArray = array('This is a string',
-                       42,
-                       3.14159265,
-                       FALSE,
-                       );
+    $someArray = array(
+        'This is a string',
+        42,
+        3.14159265,
+        FALSE,
+    );
 
 Once we have created our array we can access the different values by using an index. The indexes of arrays in PHP start with `0`. This index gets incremented when a new item is added. If we want to echo the number `3.14159265` from our array we have to access it by it's index (2):
 
     <?php
-    $someArray = array('This is a string',
-                       42,
-                       3.14159265,
-                       FALSE,
-                       );

+        3.14159265,

 In this example we are first checking whether there are any movies in our array. When the number of movies is greater than 0 it goes further to the next statement which checks whether out movie collection contains less then 5 movies. And otherwise the text `You have a decent number of movies on your collection.` will be displayed. Not that when we would have 0 movies in our collection only the text `Don't you like movies?` would be displayed although 0 is also less than 5. This is because PHP stops checking for the other conditions once a condition is met. You can have as many `elseif` statement as you like / need.
