Re: using a variable as values in an array

Here is more details. Thanks for the reply. I am using HTML_QuickForm (pear) to create my forms. In order to set the default state of some of the elements (checkboxes in this case) I need to pass an array as the value to QuickForm. This array needs to be in the format of this: array('30'=>true, '29'=>true) where the 30 and 29 are the values that are coming back from my query. This could return up to 50 records. This is what I was trying, but it isn't woring: $mystring; foreach ($sth_opt as $thekey => $thevalue){ $mystring .= "'".$thevalue."'=>true, "; } On Monday, March 31, 2003, at 04:32 PM, Jennifer Goodie wrote:
