[RESOLVED] Setting Automatic Array Values

[mrgrammar]

In creating an array, is this:

$arString = array();
$arString[0] = "value1";
$arString[1] = "value2";
$arString[2] = "value3";
$arString[3] = "value4";
$arString[4] = "value5";

the same as this:

$arString = array();
$arString[] = "value1";
$arString[] = "value2";
$arString[] = "value3";
$arString[] = "value4";
$arString[] = "value5";

If they are the same, is there anything that I need to know about taking shortcuts like the 2nd example above?

Why not examine a [man]print_r/man output and decide for yourself if they are the same?

If you still aren't convinced, consult the manual for more information about the 'square bracket syntax.'

there is a shorter version:

$arString=array("sometext1","sometext2","sometext3");

Thanks to both of you for providing ideas. They gave me enough to find the best way to do what needed to be done.
