There is user note about it here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array.php ----- 10-May-2003 03:53 Similarly to a comment by stlawson at sbcglobal dot net on this page: http://www.php.net/basic-syntax.instruction-separation It is usually advisable to define your arrays like this: $array = array( 'foo', 'bar', ); Note the comma after the last element - this is perfectly legal. Moreover, it's best to add that last comma so that when you add new elements to the array, you don't have to worry about adding a comma after what used to be the last element. $array = array( 'foo', 'bar', 'baz', ); ----- But yes, perhaps it should be mentioned in the doc, that the comma at the end is ok. --- WBR, Antony Dovgal aka tony2001 tony2001@phpclub.net || antony@dovgal.com
