[SOLVED] Using a Variable in an Array

[da-vid]

Alright, so I have this code:

 

$weekvotes = array_merge($weekvotes, array($song['id'] => 1));

 

And $song['id'] = 14. However, the array comes out as [0] => 1 instead of [14] => 1.

 

... However, when I do this:

 

$weekvotes = array_merge($weekvotes, array($song['id'] .' ' => 1));

 

It shows up properly as [14 ] => 1. However, I do not want the space, but when I remove it, it changes back to 0.

Um... okay, I actually solved it right after posting. I changed it to:

 

$testarray = array($song['id'] => 1);
$weekvotes = array_merge($weekvotes, $testarray);

 

I don't see why this works and what I did originally does not, though.

... k, found yet anther issue.

 

$testarray = array($song['id'] => 1);
$weekvotes = array_merge($weekvotes, $testarray);

 

If I print_r($testarray), it shows up fine as [14] => 1, but when I print_r($weekvotes) it comes out again as [0] => 1. >_>

LOL, and I found the problem again. $weekvotes was just a blank array (array()) but it works once I change it to array('' => '').
