     These functions allow you to interact with and manipulate
     arrays in various ways. Arrays are essential for storing,
     managing, and operating on sets of variables.

    <para>
     Simple and multi-dimensional arrays are supported, and may be
     either user created or created by another function.
     There are specific database handling functions for populating
     arrays from database queries, and several functions return arrays.
