wierd output

[Ilya020]

Hey guys,

In PHP I made an array as follows

PHP Code:

<?php
$crew = array (
    "Name"  => array ("Ilya"),
    "age" => array (13),
    "location"   => array ("San Diego, Ca")
);
 echo "$crew";
?>

When I test it, all that happens is it says "Array"
(without the quotes)

I was wondering why it does this and what is wrong with my array?

Thanks,

Ilya


P.S. Dont laugh at my code, i know it probably really buggy.

BTW. I googled on this for about 1 hour and even used the example from php.net and got the same results.

any ideas?

This is really bothering me, I want it to work!

Well to start with your array structure is wrong and when you echo output you are getting "array" because you are not calling out the elements of the array.
Try this:

<?php
$crew*=*array(
****"Name"*=>"Ilya",
****"age"=>13,
****"location"=>"San Diego, Ca"
);
for ($n=0;$n<count($crew); $n++) {
$Line = each ($crew);
print ("$Line[key] : $Line[value].<P.\n");
}
?>

I'm not sure if that is perfect I haven't messed with PHP very much, but if you plan on printing out more that one persons info you should look at using an array for names, ages and locations.

thanks, I will try it as soon as I get a chance.

I just figured out that I am an idiot! I needed to do a foreach statement and I am soooo dumb!

BTW, you dont need quotes around Name and Age and location, you only need quotes for two or more words...

You need the quotes if the value is a string......

w00t? It works without them...I think...

Well without seeing your code it is hard to see what it is or would do.
