[Resolved] using string variables as array keys

[happyme]

I want to use a string variable as an array key

for example:

$var = "hello";

$myarray['hello'] = "hi there";

echo "output is ".$myarray['$var'];

doesn't work - it just does:

output is

I can't find anything in the manual - any ideas?

TIA

Here you go Julia...

$var = "Hello";

// To make the array, choose one below:
$array = array($var => "Hi There");
// OR
$array[$var] = "Hi There";
// OR
$array['Hello'] = "Hi There";

//Confirm array's key/value content with this: (Not required, this is just so you can see what's going on)
print_r($array);

// Output by either of these methods below:
echo "Output is: ".$array['Hello'];
// OR
echo "Output is: ".$array[$var];

thanks, the problem was with the inverted commas
