array[variable]

[Guest]

This code isnt working is there somting wrong with it or is there somthing different i must do?

 

$p["$position"]

[Guest]

Any help???

[Dragen]

just that one little bit of code by itself doesn't really make any sense.

Try posting a bit more code and explain what you're trying to do.

$p['0'] = fasle;
$p['1'] = fasle;
$p['2'] = fasle;
$p['3'] = fasle;
$p['4'] = fasle;

$position=1;

$p['$position'] = true;

 

I would have it do more than that but thats similar to what im doing.

[Dragen]

I presume you mean false.

 

What you're doing there is setting the $p array. For each value setting it as false.

Then the

$p['$position'] = true;

part, to me seems like you're setting $p[1] (1 because that's what $position equals) to true, instead of false.

 

What are you trying to do?

$position=1;

$p[0] = false;
$p[1] = false;
$p[2] = false;
$p[3] = false;
$p[4] = false;

$p[$position] = true;

 

That is untested, but should work. I corrected False, as it was spelled wrong, and removed the quotes.

 

Good luck, Brandon

$p['$position'] and $p[$position] are two very different things.  Take this sample script for example:

 

<?php
$p = array();
$position = 0;
$p[0] = "Hello";
$p['$position'] = "world";
print $p[$position] . " " . $p['$position'];
?>

That code should print "Hello World".  Anything enclosed in single quotes is parsed as-is, meaning variables are not replaced if they are part of a single quoted string.  Single-quoted strings should only be used for plain text, unless you plan on using a concat-syntax to add the variable, such as: 'some text ' . $variable
