If you already have a variable which is a string, you can't append an array to it using .=

 

If you want to replace the variable value with an array, simply use = not .=

[gatez]

$arFriends = $rs[$i]["uid"];

like that ?

Well then, it is hard to tell what your doing without more code.

[sKunKbad]

$arFriends = $rs[$i]["uid"];

like that ?

 

if what you want to do is replace the value of $arFriends, which is a string, with an array which has only one key->value, then this is what you want to do. You should check out some php tutorial websites or read some books. w3schools.com is a good site to learn the basics.
