Re: PHP bug within multi. dimensional arrays?

Hello Merlin, Monday, June 6, 2005, 2:51:39 PM, you wrote: M> while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){ M> $cat[$row->main_id][name] = $row->main_name; M> $cat[$row->main_id][$row->sub_id][name] = M> $row->sub_name; M> } Quote array keys.. ALWAYS quote them: $cat[$blah]['name'] = $whatever Otherwise PHP will think [name] is trying to use a constant and substitute a value accordingly.

Is this an php M> error or did I do something wrong? You did something wrong ;) If you don't quote the array keys it'll assume a constant, which in turn would assume a 1 which will give you the first character of the string.
