populating associative array

[knickerlas]

Hi
can someone tell me whats wrong with this?
I\'m trying to return an associative array of ID;VALUE pairs.

while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$links.=\"$row[0] => $row[1]\";
}

Cheers

Nick

Try something like...

while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)){
$links[$row[0]] = $row[1];
}

Thanks paul, that seems sensible, I'll try it.
I can't understand why my method wouldn't work though?

Cheers
