RE: [PHP] Counter Help

Sounds good to me, I should, and will, always keep that in mind. Thanks for the tips. Also I want to say PHPBeginner.com is starting off very well, keep up the good work. I've been watching over it to see when the grand opening would be, and it's finally here. I hope it becomes a success someday. If I was good at PHP, I would contribute some articles, but I'm just a newbie for now. But maybe someday. Take it easy :) Sincerely, Navid Yar -----Original Message----- From: PHPBeginner.com [mailto:php-general@phpbeginner.com] Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2001 12:16 AM To: Superbus22@home.com; PHP (E-mail) Subject: RE: [PHP] Counter Help Yup, you need to have your key strings in quotes '', so it doesn't think it's a constant. ALWAYS use $array['key'] and not $array[key] except for the integrers Sincerely, Maxim Maletsky Founder, Chief Developer PHPBeginner.com (Where PHP Begins) maxim@phpbeginner.com www.phpbeginner.com -----Original Message----- From: Navid Yar [mailto:Superbus22@home.com] Sent: Friday, February 23, 2001 9:11 AM To: PHP (E-mail) Subject: [PHP] Counter Help Can someone help me with this script? It is an example from weberdev.com. I ran it and it gave me the following error... -- Warning: Use of undefined constant count - assumed 'count' in c:\windows\desktop\localhost\examples\counter\counter1.php on line 27 25 The number 25 is the correct number for the counter, but how do I get rid of that error message that keeps coming up before the counter number (25)?
