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. <?php $array = array( 'foo', 'bar', 'baz', ); ?> --was-- 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.
