The function is defined as: function check_restriction($row_person['restriction_code'] ) It would appear that i can't use the array variable $row_person['restriction_code'] in this definition. the error message: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[', expecting ')'" When creating a seperate variable from this array, it works fine... Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20740&edit=1
