$array=array(array("initial" => "C", "name" => "Geoff C."),
array("initial" => "V", "name" => "Peter V."),
array("initial" => "F", "name" => "Paul F.")
);
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array.php

Gives you a array that looks like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[initial] => C
[name] => Geoff C.
)
[1] => Array
(
[initial] => V
[name] => Peter V.
)
[2] => Array
(
[initial] => F
[name] => Paul F.
)
)

To access data you use

$array[key_number]['initial']

or

$array[key_number]['name']

replace the "key_number" with the number you want to access.
