array question (quick)

[Ninjakreborn]

I have seen a lot of people do
$variable = new array(array, variables, here);
and that is what I see people telling me, and see in tutorials
WHen I do that, I ALWAYS get error messages, so I had to always do
$variable = array(array, variables, here);
why is that

new is used for class's

I normally do something like

[code]

<?php

$my_array = (1 => "Something", 2 => "Something");

#OR

$my_array[1] = $something;
$my_array[2] = $something;

//You dont need the numbers, but I use them as I use it for references[/code]

The "new Array" is used in javascript which is very similar to PHP. Perhaps that is part of the confusion.
