It's more like this: <?php $foo[test] = 5; echo $foo[test]; ?> When PHP sees this code, what it *REALLY* does (which you'll see if you start off with error_reporting(E_ALL) is say: test? what the heck is test? I don't know no stinkin' test. It's not a variable. It's not a constant. It's not a number. It's not a function. I dunno what the hell it is. I sure hope you meant 'test', cuz that's what I have to assume you meant, cuz I got no idea what this test thing is. $foo = 'test'; is not measurably faster/slower than: $foo = "test"; -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
