Assoc Arrays, dynamically adding values

Prine

Im trying to add values to an assoc array, heres what i tried

if($diff<2){
$month_name = $row[0];
$month_status[$month_name]=>'new';
}
else{
$month_name = $row[0];
$month_status[$month_name]=>'old';} 
}

Doesnt seem to work :mad:

What am i doing wrong?

<?php
function cmp($a, $b)
{
   return strcasecmp($a, $b);
}

$array = array(); // initialize array

//lines 10-12 will be done during each "loop"
$array['key1'] = "value1";
$array['key2'] = "value2";
$array['key3'] = "value3";

uksort($array, "cmp");

foreach($array as $company => $miles){
   echo $company . " - " . $miles . "<br>";
}
?>

//this will print
key1 - value1
key2 - value2
key3 - value3

i have it sorting by "key" so you can ignore the uksort and the function if you wish

cheers mate, but i was pooling data from a database query then filtering it through a custom made function (findsout the difference in weeks)

if the weeks returned showed a difference of 2 weeks between todays date, and when an entry was made, i want the assoc array to store the month name with a value "old"

if the week difference is under 2 then the value is "new"

i managed to fix it. Im sooo stupid!

if($diff<2){
$month_name = $row[0];
$month_status[$month_name] = 'new';
}
else{
$month_name = $row[0];
$month_status[$month_name] = 'old'; 
}

sorry about the poor explanation!

stolzyboy

this was just an example... where i set the array values... that could've been done in a loop... so, yeah, explanation prolly wasn't the best, but oh well...
