Re: assignment of data into a 2 dimensional array

Is the list and date the result of a query or do you have the list in a separate variable or array? $list1 = '2,3,4,5'; $list2 = '6,3,5,6,7'; How do those relate to the dates? Are you running multiple queries? A short code example would help us a lot here. ---John Holmes...
