Is there anyway of inserting a value at the end of an array without knowing how many values are in the array ie.
$array[last] = 'value'
i know i could do a count then use this number ie, $array[$count] = 'value' i just wondered if there was a way like $array[last].
cheers

Yes, you say:
$array[] = 'value';
For more flexible pushing onto the end of an array, see
great thanks
this is the same as
array_push($array, 'value');
for better code reading perhaps ... whatever. 
i found that too, however, it will only work if the variable is already initialised, in my case its not 
and i'm having great trouble with $array[] i think because i'm using a variable variable (((
any ideas
Hmm. Could be a precedence issue - I often confused about where to put the extra {}.
The documentation says "In order to use variable variables with arrays, you have to resolve an ambiguity problem. That is, if you write $$a[1] then the parser needs to know if you meant to use $a[1] as a variable, or if you wanted $$a as the variable and then the [1] index from that variable. The syntax for resolving this ambiguity is: ${$a[1]} for the first case and ${$a}[1] for the second."
Is this still true if you substitute [] for [1]?
