Here's an interesting problem.
The following only prints the first letter of the name
for ($i=0; isset($empid[$i]); $i++) {
echo "$empid[$i] $name[$i]<br>";
}
But if I change the variable $name to $employeename throughout the script it
displays fine.
$empid[] and $name[] are both assigned earlier in the script by pulling data
from a MySQL database.
Is $name a reserved word or something? Anyone know why just changing the
array's name fixes the problem?
Thanks,
-Tom
