PHP How can I store variables in an array and call them

Question

Ok so yesterday I was working on a PHP API all day (2:30PM - 3:30AM CT). The user/client/front end of the API can submit a filename or link to the API so it can view it, edit it, or delete it.

But that's a problem because if the user can do that that means they could edit or delete the website with the client.

So I'm wondering can I store a bunch of variables that are equal to links, so when the client submits, the API will see if that link is unauthorized or authorized

Could you do it like this

<?php
$myArray = array( //Unauthorized Links 
    $link1 => "http://example.com" //First Link
);
?>

Then check the links using $myArray?

If you need the API code I'll provide it.

@Rishi Ok sorry bout that got in a rush, but problem still persists. — abrad1212

use this code and it will work for you

<?php
    $myArray = array(
        1 => 'http://example-1.com',
        2 => 'http://example-2.com',
        3 => 'http://example-3.com',
        4 => 'http://example-4.com'
    );

    foreach($myArray as $key => $value){
        echo 'link '.$key.' = '.$value.' <br>';
    }
?>

Thanks the links are being displayed! Now I'm going to integrate this with my API I'll DM you if I can't get it working. :)

Ok so would doing something like this work?

} elseif (isset($_POST['filename']) and $_POST['filename'] == $Links)  		{ 	 			die("Sorry you may not access that link"); 		}

Because I'm trying it and right now it's not working

Ok I think I isolated my problem from the previous comment, my problem is that foreach has the $value and I'm needing to use that throughout the whole script! Should I just put it on top of the script and close it at the bottom? So i can use $value throughout the whole script.
