Desperate!

I don't know why this is, but I've run into a couple of issues where code that runs just fine on my development machine here at home doesn't work on the hosts machine. I was previously using version 4.0 while the host was using 4.0b2. I recently updated to version 4.0.3pl1. Now I just can't believe that what little variance there is in configuration is causing me these problems. Does anyone know?

One of the things that doesn't work, or seems to work intermittenly is setting up arrays. If I do something like .....

$check = ("item1,item2,item3,item4");
$checked_stuff = explode(",","$check);

.... it will work fine on the development machine, but fails to work on the host. I just recently had an issues where some of the logic that builds an SQL statement fails to execute properly on the host. This is getting old and time is getting important.

Thanx,

try using same php version as your host on your machine. i cant say much about it .. sorry...

but from your above code, it looks like you have an extra 'quotes' in there:
explode(",","$check);

it should be:
explode(",",$check);

First of all, that's not an array you're defining, it's a string. On second thought you've defined an array with one string variable. Try using $check[0] instead of $check in the call to explode. And take out the third quotation mark in explode.

And uhh, what version are you using on your devel server? Evidently a broken one as the above code all has major syntax problems.

Anon

Yeah, I know. I created a string first then hit it with explode().

Now I'm a little unclear as to why I might want to try $check[0]. Isn't that assuming that $check is allready an array? And if it is, then why use the explode function? I did try using something like ...

$check = array();

..., but how do I get each of the items into the array in one line? Would it be something like ....

$check = array("item1", "item2", "item3");

? I may try this.

By the way, that last quotation mark was a typo.

Thanx,

Actually, the answer to the first question is in the first post. Now besides the extraneous quotation mark in the explode function, I don't see these syntax problems you're referring to.

Anyway, nothing here is broken.....

That would work. This would associate item1 with array index 0, item2 with array index 1, ... You can also create associative arrays with string indexes with,

$check = array( "x" => "item1", "y" => "item2", "z" => "item3" );

then use, $check[x], $check[y] and $check[z] to access the
values. Note that you can create multidimensional arrays by
pointing to arrays within the array. Tres groovy.

$matrix = array( '0' => array( 1, 2, 3 ), '1' => array( 2, 3, 4 ) );
