PHP Multidimensional Array with Variables

Question

So I'm trying to make an array because I want it to rank it in order - but I have 3 variables I'd like to keep all together. Currently my Code is:

$WinningOrder = array("$ID1" => "$Score1", 
                      "$ID2" => "$Score2", 
                      "$ID3" => "$Score3",
                      "$ID4" => "$Score4", 
                      "$ID5" => "$Score5");

But I'd like to add another element to each which would be $Total1-$Total5

I thought of doing a multidimensional array but I'm unsure how to go about it when they're all variables.

What would be the easiest way to go about this?

You question is too messy in the explanation part. I don't see the overall goal. — FirstOne

You could look for this type of structure, if you see fit: https://eval.in/922824. - Basically each variable will be a sub-array, keeping them together. — FirstOne

this should work

$Score1 = 10;
$mainArray = array(
     array( "id"=> $ID1 , 
            "score" => $Score1 ,
            "total" => $Total1 
         ),
       array( "id"=> $ID2 , 
            "score" => $Score2 ,
            "total" => $Total2 
         )
    );

Access values like this

echo $mainArray[0]["score"]

this will output 10

You can also loop over the main array

foreach($mainArray as $item){
  print $item
}

Forgot to mention that your variables should not need quotes
