Array wierdness...

[Anon]

Ok, I'm getting a little wierdness here. I want to just add an element to an array. I know this can be easily accomplished by doing:

$array[] = $onemoreelement;

but I'm trying to add a string indexed element - which I assume would just be:

$array[$stringindex] = $onemoreelement;

but this seems to initialize the array with just that element!?!

Am I doing something obviously wrong here?

I'm using 4.0.1pl2 on linux

Thanks, Dennis

Dennis,

try:

$array[] = $add_this_variable;

if you are using php 4, check out array_push

$array = array ("joe", "Jim");

$array = array_push($array, "Phil" );

//now..

$array[0] = "joe"
$array[1] = "Jim"
$array[2] = "Phil"

Ok, as I mentioned in my original message, I am well aware of just using the open brackets to add to an array.

For string indexed arrays (which I am using), I thought it was just a matter if using a new key in the brackets to add to the original array. This is not working - hence the wierdness.

I did lie in my original post though, I am not using PHP4, I'm using 3.0.16 - so array_push is out of the question.

Thanks,
Dennis
