[SOLVED] Help Combining Two Strings

[JSHINER]

<?php
foreach($page['towns'] as $x) {
$town = strtolower(str_replace(" ", "", $x['name']));
$state = $x['state'];
$townState = $town . $state;
$theArray[] = $townState;
}
?>

 

I'm trying to use the above code to add items to an array. It works with other foreach statements but this one where I try to combine two strings does not work. What is wrong with it?

Can I see a print_r() on $page['towns']?

There's 29,000+ towns in the US so it's pretty long. But here's part of it...

 

Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Town [state] => St ) [1] => Array ( [name] => Adak [state] => AK ) [2] => Array ( [name] => Akiachak [state] => AK ) [3] => Array ( [name] => Akiak [state] => AK ) [4] => Array ( [name] => Akutan [state] => AK ) [5] => Array ( [name] => Alakanuk [state] => AK ) [6] => Array ( [name] => Aleknagik [state] => AK ) [7] => Array ( [name] => Allakaket [state] => AK ) [8] => Array ( [name] => Ambler [state] => AK ) [9] => Array ( [name] => Anaktuvuk Pass [state] => AK ) [10] => Array ( [name] => Anchor Point [state] => AK ) [11] => Array ( [name] => Anchorage [state] => AK ) [12] => Array ( [name] => Anderson [state] => AK ) [13] => Array ( [name] => Angoon [state] => AK ) [14] => Array ( [name] => Aniak [state] => AK )

Could you echo out $town and $state?

Also, do you know what error reporting you have? If you can, set it to E ALL.

[JSHINER]

<?php
foreach($page['towns'] as $x) {
   $town = strtolower(str_replace(" ", "", $x['name']));
   $state = $x['state'];
   $townState = $town . $state;
   echo $town, $state, '<br>';
//   $theArray[] = $townState;
}
?>

 

The above returns:

 

townSt

adakAK

akiachakAK

akiakAK

akutanAK

alakanukAK

aleknagikAK

allakaketAK

amblerAK

anaktuvukpassAK

anchorpointAK

anchorageAK

andersonAK

angoonAK

And what ends up in $theArray?

[JSHINER]

Nothing ends up in the array it errors out.

What's the error?

[waynew]

Try:

array_push($theArray,$townState);

 

instead of...

 

$theArray[] = $townState;

[JSHINER]

Same thing with array_push($theArray,$townState);

 

[wildteen88]

Same thing with array_push($theArray,$townState);

 

Then post the error(s) you are getting. Posting "it errors out" isn't helpful

[JSHINER]

Error: Blank white screen. Using error_reporting(E_ALL);

[wildteen88]

Error: Blank white screen. Using error_reporting(E_ALL);

Ensure display_errors is enabled too:

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');

[JSHINER]

Was a memory issue - set ini_set('memory_limit', '128M'); - works great.

 

Sorry about that everyone... should have had display_errors on from the start  :-\
