Re: Bizarre array key 'feature'?

Just to reinforce this answer. You should always quote your strings. The only reason why unquoted names work is for backwards compatibility. Actually these are treated as constants and only if the constant doesn't exist will it be used as a string and I think it outputs an E_NOTICE to tell you to fix it :) Andi At 11:53 AM 11/9/00 +0100, Derick Rethans wrote:

Hi John, use $ourArray["default"]["a"] and error will probably go away. Derick John Parker wrote: Hi, all. Hmm.. bit of a strange one, this... Is 'default' considered a reserved word in the construction of muti-dimensional arrays? ie: The following code works. $ourArray[test][a] = true; $ourArray[test][b] = false; ... But the following fails (Parse error: parse error, expecting `']'') at the first line containing the 'default' key. $ourArray[default][a] = true; $ourArray[default][b] = false; Using PHP4.0.2 (yeah, I know I should probably upgrade).
