Novice question

Hi, thanks for reading this, Im just going to say it cos i dont want to waste your time. Im looking for a really big favour here(cos I think it may take time to spot this, although it might only take five seconds to spot, but I dunno,the problem area of code is only four lines long), so dont spend time reading this unless you got half an hour spare or are looking a good samaritan award or something. Still reading this? Excellent, Iam saved. I wrote code which takes a input string, breaks it up and puts the bits into an array called $real. THIS WORKS. But I may have lots of input strings so I slapped a for loop around the code to do the same thing for all the inputs and THAT WORKS ASWELL! Then i wanted to save the different bits of each input string in its own array, so I created an array of arrays and at the end of each cycle of the big loop, I take out all the element in $real and put them into the array of arrays, called $poly[][]. THIS DOESNT WORK. I've spent a week trying to fix this and get that horrible feeling that all the work is going down the drain, cos if I dont get this working, I am screwed. I'd be sincerely grateful if someone could help me with this /*===========================*/ I put these type of comments around the problem area of the code, which is about four lines long near the bottom /*===========================*/ Regards Bren <html> <body> <? print_r($poly); echo"<HR>"; $real[0]=0; $z=array_pop($real); $array[0] = 0; $z = array_pop($array); /*$real[0] = 0; $z = array_pop($real);*/ $test[0]=0; $z = array_pop($test); /*big loop=============================================*/ for($ws=0;$ws<count($poly);$ws++) { $rt=0; $c = explode("+", $poly[$ws]); /*echo"C EQUALS"."<BR>".*/ /*echo"shit"; print_r($c);*/
