hi, im doing this brilliant tut on php.

but, i was wondering is the below code right? If it is then why isnt anything appearing apart from "LOL123"

<html>
<head>
<title>My First PHP page</title>
</head>
<body>

<H4>lol123</H4>

<?php
$firstarray = array("Hello","world");
?>

</body>
</html>

Although you have correctly created an array you have not outputted it.

Try this after creating the array.

echo $firstarray[0];

You should see
"hello" on the screen.

You should start of with something a little less challenging than arrays as you dont seem very experienced at programming.

www.php.net is a very good website for php help.

i am currently using the tuts on this site

You know, i have got 5 years html/css/actionscript experience. I have never had a host that allows php and sql until now.

Thank you for your help. Please do let me know if what im doing is the right thing.

I really do need to learn this quickly and get to grips with it.

how annoying lol

Well i meant programming, not web scripting. If you did have programming experience then you would have known that declaring an array doesnt mean that it is output to the user.

But php is really easy to learn, so im sure you'll have no major issues with it.

Hope you have fun learning it.
