array indexes

[jloel_yahoo_com]

I have a form that allows users to add 4 old classes and 4 new classes. The purpose of this is to determine the factors associated with the classes. These values are passed to a php file with the following array:

$classes("class" => 000, "factor" => 0.00), etc, etc.

I have verified that the value is coming thru correctly, what I want to do is be able to grabe the factor field using that value i.e.

echo $classes[$old_class1]['factor'];

It is not working and I'm wondering if there is something additional I need to do, or will the array not allow an index in this format???

Thanks for any input.

Start by doing a [man]print_r/man of the array, to make sure it's populated the way you think it should be; something like:

echo "<pre>" . print_r($classes, 1) . "</pre>\n";

You may want to copy-and-paste the results here for us to look at if that does not make it clear to you what the issue is.

I will give that a try, but I have verified through using the number index 0,1,2, etc, that the data is there correctly.

If nothing else, it will help me understand what the data looks like that you are trying to access. 🙂

😃 The variable that I was using for the indexes from the form had preceding zeroes, once I input the value as 6 or 92 instead of 006 or 092, it pulled the correct value.
