Array losing its values

[sbonney]

This simple bit of code is meant to generate ten random numbers and store them in an array. They print out as they are generated and look fine. However, it appears that all values in the array are being set to the last number generated. This code is running online here.

 

<?PHP


function runtest() {
$playerInit = array();
$numPlayers = 10;


for ($i = 1; $i <= $numPlayers; $i++) {
$playerInit[i] = mt_rand(1,10);
echo "    Player #".$i." rolled a ".$playerInit[i]."<BR>";
}


echo "<BR>";


$i=1;
while ($i <= $numPlayers) {
echo "    Player #".$i." rolled a ".$playerInit[i]."<BR>";
      $i++;
}
}
runtest();
?> 

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

$playerInit[i] = mt_rand(1,10);

 

Missing $ on the array subscript.

 

You have the same problem in both echo statements.

 

 

Turn on error reporting, these statements should be issuing errors (notices) about an undefined constant.

Thank you! Such a simple thing, how did I keep overlooking that?
