Would that really work? If I say $conf["db"] = "foo"; and then $conf["db"]["host"] = "bar"; then is $conf["db"] a string, or is it an associative array? I know PHP's highly flexible with typing 'n' stuff, but that really seems to be pushing the limits... For the record, even with quotes, I get similar results to what Warren posted. > On Wed, 26 Jul 2000, Warren Vanichuk wrote: > > > > > Ok, I have just discovered that I cannot mix 'dimensions' in an > associative > > array. > > > > The source I have : > > > > <?php > > > > $conf[db] = "bazfoobar"; > > $conf[db][host] = "thishost"; > > > > echo "value is: " . $conf[db] .
