arrays and using variables as the index

[Synergic]

        $months[01] = "Jan";
  	 $months[02] = "Feb";
 $months[03] = "Mar";

         $i = 02; // also tried "02"
         echo $months[$i];

 

The above code has me stumped (echos nothing). Coming from a Java background I've had no such troubles substituting array indices with variables. When i change the $i (in between the brackets) with 02 it appears to work. Any ideas?

With PHP 5.2.0 I got the output "Feb".

But why dont you try it this way (Without the zero):

 

<?php

$months[1] = "Jan";
$months[2] = "Feb";
$months[3] = "Mar";

$i = 2;
echo $months[$i];

?>

 

This should work with no probs.

 

Orio.
