Help With MultiDimensional Arrays

[spikeon]

<?php
$episodearray[104] = 104;
$episodearray[104][1] = "Bleach-104.avi";
$episodearray[104][2] = "58mb";
$episodearray[104][3] = "www.akirablaid.com/media/downloads/";
?>

apparently there is an error on line three, but i don't see it.

am i doing something wrong with the multidimentional arrays?

I copied your code and there were no syntax errors, but the code won't work as it stand since you're trying to use the value of index 104 as both a scalar and an array.

Try this code instead:
[code]<?php
$episodearray[104] = array();
$episodearray[104][] = 104;
$episodearray[104][] = "Bleach-104.avi";
$episodearray[104][] = "58mb";
$episodearray[104][] = "www.akirablaid.com/media/downloads/";
echo '<pre>' . print_r($episodearray,true) . '</pre>';
?>[/code]

The echo statement is there to see what's in the array.

well, theres a problem with that

thats just a segment of a code thats included into a larger script.  i can't call on the array until much later, and with the script i built, it will add onto that code with copies like
<?php
$episodearray[104] = 104;
$episodearray[104][1] = "Bleach-104.avi";
$episodearray[104][2] = "58mb";
$episodearray[104][3] = "www.akirablaid.com/media/downloads/";
?>
<?php
$episodearray[103] = 103;
$episodearray[103][1] = "Bleach-103.avi";
$episodearray[103][2] = "58mb";
$episodearray[103][3] = "www.akirablaid.com/media/downloads/";
?>

actually, heres a copy of the entire segment of that site, devided by ---filename.php---

if you see anything that i did that was a really, really, bad idea, tell me

There's a fundamental flaw in the design of your data structure.  You will have to redesign it to get it to do what you want.

What you're doing now is:

1. Set $episodearray[104] to an integer 104
2. Treat $episodearray[104] as an array

You simply can't do that.  You will need to store that number 104 somewhere else, or you will need to store the additional data in a seperate array.  For example, you could do:

[code=php:0]$episodearray[104][0] = 104;
$episodearray[104][1] = "Bleach-104.avi";
$episodearray[104][2] = "58mb";
$episodearray[104][3] = "www.akirablaid.com/media/downloads/";[/code]


Or, you could do

[code=php:0]$episodearray[104] = 104;
$episodearrayextra[104][1] = "Bleach-104.avi";
$episodearrayextra[104][2] = "58mb";
$episodearrayextra[104][3] = "www.akirablaid.com/media/downloads/";[/code]


Either will work.  But you can't set something to an integer, and then treat it as an array.  Whichever script is adding code like that needs to be fixed.

[Barand]

You already store the '104' as the key value so why store it again?
[code]<?php

$episodearray[104] = array ("Bleach-104.avi", "58mb", "www.akirablaid.com/media/downloads/");

?>[/code]

[spikeon]

ok, that fixed the errors, but now its not doing what i want it to do.

right now its supposed to say "Bleach - 104 Bleach-104 58mb"
but instead it says "Bleach - 1                 Array"
heres a link www.akirablaid.com/newTest.php?page=downloadlist

and heres the code segment thats displaying the screw up

[code]
include('media1/anime/list.php');
$counter=0;
foreach($anime as $ani){
$counter++;
echo "<tr><td colspan=3><center>$ani</center></td></tr>";
include('media1/anime/'.$ani.'dllist.php');
for($cs=$animenum[$counter];$cs>=1;$cs--){
  if($episodearray[$cs][0]!=""){
   echo "<tr><td>$ani - $episodearray[$cs][0]</td>";
   echo "<td><a href=\"".$episodearray[$cs][3]."/".$episodearray[$cs][1]."\"> $episodearray[$cs][1] </a></td>";
   if($episodearray[$cs][2] != 0){
    echo "<td>$episodearray[$cs][2]</td></tr> \n";
   }
   else{
    echo "<td>N/A</td></tr> \n";
   }
  }

also, while i am at it, why is it displaying up to 210, when thats from a different anime.

[spikeon]

GRRRRR... i worked on it a little more, but now i have a bigger problem

now its only displaying $anime[2] functions, but at least  the write list is going to it
