RE: [PHP] Counter Help

Thanks for the great suggestion Simon, I'll definatley keep that in mind. I'm new to PHP, and the counter thing was "copied" off of Weberdev.com. They forgot to add the single quotes around counter. At least this experience helped me learn something new. Again, I thank you for your help and for Chris' help.

Example: <?php define("foo", "donkey"); $test = array("foo"=>"orange", "bar"=>"purple"); echo $test[foo]; ?> Now, I think that should print nothing (or an error), because there is no index matching "donkey" (the value of the constant "foo"). But for some reason PHP looks for an array index matching the string "foo" as well, encouraging this kind of sloppy programming.
