[RESOLVED] using variable as array value

cbesh2

I would like to use a variable as an array value so that I can display the proper values.

For example, instead of fname[1], I would like to replace the "1" value with a variable because I am using a counter.

This doesn't work:

$count=$count+1;
echo $fname[$counter];
(repeat loop as needed)

Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

You were not consistent in your variable naming in the example you provided. Try:

$counter = $counter + 1;
echo $fname[$counter]

Well, my actually code has consistant variables. What I typed above is a typo. Still having problems.

There is no reason you cannot use a variable as an array index. Whether or not there is some other syntax and/or logic error in your code is impossible to say at this point based on the code you've shown us so far. Do you get any error messages? Do you have full error-reporting turned on?

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

Now I'm getting an error:

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /home/cbesh2/.... on line 64

Line 64 reads:

echo $fname[$counter];

Do you think the problem is in my echo command?

Oh wait! I figured it out. That error means that it's referring to an array key that doesn't exist. I'm trying to echo a value that's not there. I needed to move my echo command outside of my query loop. Thank you!
