Populating an array

[cineplex]

I want to populate/initialize an array, but NOT at the point of declaration.

I do NOT want to do something like this:

$myarray=array(1,2,3,4,5);

Instead I want to populate the array with values afterwords by looping.

Here's what I have. The "$count" is the number of elements I want in my array(comes from D😎.

Basically, I'm trying to dynamically populate a listbox with an array. If the stock quantity remaining is 5, I would have a listbox with options 1,2,3,4,5. If stock remaining were 2, I'd have options 1,2, etc.

Help me please?

		    $startindex = 0;
		    $select=array();
			$count = $qtyE1;



	    for($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++)
		{
			$select=array_fill($startindex,1,$i);
			$startindex = $startindex + 1;
		}

	  while(list($key,$value)=each($select))
	  {
		  echo "<option>$value</option>";
	  }

Why not just do

<?
for ($i=1;$i<=$count;$i++) { ?><option value="<? echo($i) ?>"><? echo($i) ?></option><?
} ?>

then you don't have to consume time (as little as it is, often-times) with setting an array only to go back and loop again. (I think it should be $i<=$count)

Do you mean you want something like

$array[$i] = something;

in a loop?

Doesn't sound like you need an array.
