can't get array content into new variable

[mOleCuleZz]

hello... can't seem to figure out what is wrong here
if i do this it works fine

// $lines is an array
$content = $lines[1];
echo $content;

if i do this it also works

// $lines is an array
$var = 1;
$content = $lines[$var];
echo $content;

but if i do this.. it doesn't work

$var = count($lines);
$content = $lines[$var];
echo $content;

can anyone help me out here pls....

count function returns the size of the array.

The below code will return 3 for count, but if you notice the indexes of array they are only from 0 ...2 there is no index no of 3.

<?php
$a[0] = 1;
$a[1] = 3;
$a[2] = 5;
$result = count($a);
// $result == 3

The same is your problem, you are trying to dispaly some element that doesnt exist.

That should do

$var = count($lines);
$content = $lines[$var-1];
echo $content;
