Re: Populating array with function

I always wondered if anyone had a perfect brain. Us ordinary mortals require help. Robert Cummings wrote:

A good php editor, with code completion, will help prevent this.

A decent brain with ample memory will suffice also. Upgrade packages not available (yet) :) Cheers, Rob.

I like phpEdit. It even has a built-in syntax checker, which would have caught your error immediately. Dotan Cohen wrote:

perhaps look into the array_push() function

Thanks, but I cannot use array_push() as I don't know the name of the array that I'll be pushing to. There are four calls to the listFiles function, and each will populate a different array.

the use of array_push() is not needed but the premise that it cannot be used is wrong - the array inside the function is always called $files. your problem is due to a simple typo, you could have checked the actual return value of the function and seen that it does return the array: var_dump( listFiles($thumbnailsDirectory) );

That's what I was doing with this code: print"<pre>"; print_r($thumbnailsFiles); print"</pre>"; Thanks, all. Silly typo does it every time!
