[RESOLVED] Basic array question

[rprincejr]

I am trying to create a simple array with 6 story titles in it. I keep getting an undefined error. I cant find the problem.

$titles = array();
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_stories ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 0,6");
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
    $titles[$row2['title']];
}

echo $titles[3];

The error should tell you on what line.

Try:

if(isset($titles[3]))
  echo $titles[3];

the error is that the array is undefined. Like its not getting populated.

You are probably looking to write:

$titles = array();
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_stories ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 0,6");
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
    $titles[] = $row2['title'];
}

echo $titles[3];

In your original code, $titles[$row2['title']]; was a no-op: it simply did nothing but try and access an element of an empty array.

That was it. Thx.
