Re: Strange Array Error

You are making the first element of the array $test_array and array item. An array inside and array. $test_array[] = array() is the same as $test_array[0] = array() So what you are trying to do is add $i to an array. Kind of like trying to figure out what happens when you add 1 to the color red. Try one of these: $test_array = array() or $test_array = array(0,0,0,0,0,0,0) Basically, drop the brackets. You use brackets to reference and array element, not the array itself. On Oct 21, 2004, at 9:28 AM, Shaun wrote:

Hi, I have been trying for the past two hours to understand why I get an error with the following code: <?php $test_array[] = array(); $i = 0; while($i < 7){ $test_array[$i] += $i; echo '$day_total[$i] = '.$day_total[$i].'<br>'; } ?> Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /usr/home/expensesystem/public_html/test.php on line 5 I am trying to create a loop where $i is added to array element $i, and can't find any information relating to this on google or php.net...
