hi all, i have this php statement: <? if($rowB[$rowA[0]]=='Y') {echo "checked";} ?> debugging, i got $rowA[0] = 54, but i want $rowB[$rowA[0]] = $rowB['54']. is this possible? how do i force $rowA[0] to be a string ('54')?<http://www.php.net/unsub.php

php should handle the conversion internally for you. if you want to type cast a value to a string, simply do (string)$varname -nathan

I was thinking about saying that, but php is loosely typed, so 54 == '54'. I'm thinking something else is wrong here. --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I believe this is the difference with arrays: $a = array(2 => "foo"); Array(0 => null, 1 => null, 2 => "foo") $a = array("2" => "foo"); Array("2" => "foo")
