Convert simple PHP array to c

[elija]

If I have such an array in PHP

<?php
    $s = array(
        'go' => array('walk', 'travel', 'perambulate'),
        'get' => array('take', 'swipe', 'yoink', 'pocket')
    );
?>

How to I replicate that in c?

I seem to have it a brick wall with this one

So, of course, this is not what is called in C an array: it is a dictionary or a hash map. It maps strings to arrays of strings.

So first, you need access to a hash map implementation. It's not incredibly difficult to implement your own, but it is a bit of a pain. I have used uthash before on many occasions:
uthash User Guide

They also provide a linked list implementation (utlist) that may be a good replacement for your string arrays if they are better represented as linked lists.

Anyway, hopefully that documentation makes sense to you. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Well, that means going back into K&R as I haven't met structs yet. I was wondering when I'd need to do some more reading.

Thanks.
