Multi-Dimensional Arrays and Print()

[Anon]

I am running PHP4 on an Apache web server and have been having problems getting a multi-dimensional array to print properly. Here's the problem:

$problem[0][0] = "Here it is";

echo $problem[0][0];
print("$problem[0][0]");

$a = $problem[0][0];

print("$a");

This will output:
Here it is Array[0] Here it is

Can anyone suggest to me why I cannot use the array value directly?

Actually, you can use it directly, as the 'echo' and the assignment show. Where you can't use it is embedded in a double-quoted string. In your print() example, you could just drop the quotes, but I'm guessing in real life you actually had a more complicated string example, in which case you need to concatenate it, same as you would with a string-returning function call, e.g.:

$a = "This is something of a 2-dimensioned array: " . $problem[0][0];
