RE: [PHP] echo only displays first character

Are you sure $name is an array. t appears to be a string and the $name[$i] references one character in that string mal -----Original Message----- From: Tom Harris [mailto:stry_cat@yahoo.com] Sent: 16 March 2001 15:50 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] echo only displays first character 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?
