adding to an array while in loop

[TravisB]

I am trying to add info into an array while in a loop. Please see code and comments below.

while($ctr < $num_occ){
        // read from form info
	$long = $formVars["set" . $ctr . "_long"];
	$lat = $formVars["set" . $ctr . "_lat"];
	$desc = $formVars["set" . $ctr . "_desc"];	
	//search for dupes
         $sql = "SELECT * FROM geoweb WHERE 
		gw_url = '$url' and
		gw_lat = '$lat' and
		gw_long = '$long'";	
	$rs = mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die(mysql_error());		
	$rowsFound = mysql_num_rows($rs);
	// if not a dupe add it to db
        if($rowsFound = 0){
		$sql = "INSERT INTO geoweb (gw_id, gw_url, gw_long, gw_lat, gw_desc) VALUES ('','$url', '$long', '$lat', '$desc')";
		$rs = mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die(mysql_error());		
		$ctr_added++;
		// THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO ADD TO THE ARRAY
              // add as a string, not multidemnsional
		$ar_added[] = $long . ", " . $lat ": " . $desc;  // this does not work
	}
	else{
		$ctr_notadded++;
                // AND ADD  TO ARRAY HERE AS WELL
		$ar_notadded[] = $long . ", " . $lat ": " . $desc;
	}
$ctr++;		
}

try changing

$ar_added[] = $long . ", " . $lat ": " . $desc;
to
$ar_added[$ctr_added] = $long . ", " . $lat ": " . $desc;

and

$ar_notadded[] = $long . ", " . $lat ": " . $desc;
to
$ar_notadded[$ctr_notadded] = $long . ", " . $lat ": " . $desc;

$ar_added[] = 'Whatever';
will work.

Try adding some echos just to make sure you are reaching the line.

I put a few echoes out in the program to test where the problem is. The program runs if I comment out the array lines, but when I uncomment them it does not run. Maybe there is a different way to add to the array?

syntax error on $ar_added[] = $long . ", " . $lat ": " . $desc; period . is missing
change to
$ar_added[] = $long . ", " . $lat. ": " . $desc;

You are talking about syntax errors right? Look closely and you will see that you left out at least one dot.

Ahah! The missing dot trick. I hate it when that happens! It works now. Thanks!
