Question

Is there such a thing as a configuration option for PHP or anything on a web server for allowing or not arrays that looks like this:

$i['addme']["A".$temp[1]] = $v;

For some reason, this code was working on a Netfirms server and now I changed to a VPS host and it doesn’t keep the value…

Any idea why?

=============

EDIT 1 : more details below:

The exact code:

foreach ($_POST as $k => $v) {
    $temp = explode("_", $k);//_p($temp);
    if ($temp[0] == "ATTRIBUT") {
        $i['addme']["A".$temp[1]] = $v;

        // debugging test below
        echo $v;  // THIS WORKS
        echo $i['addme']["A".$temp[1]]; // EMPTY DATA
    }
}

• When I print the content of the POST array, I see my data.
• When I print the content of the $temp array, I see my data
• RIGHT after assigning the $v data to $i['addme'], I check it and its empty.

In other word, in this script, when I check the $v string, it shows the data, but when i echo the $i string, its empty…

Ideas?

EDIT 2 :

I just tested $ii (2 letter variable) instead of $i and it worked… Why?

Side note : I still want to solve the problem, I don’t want to go in my 20 000 lines of code to change all my 1 letter arrays…

=============

EDIT 3 :

Strangely, when I put $i = array(); before the script, it works.

Why?

Answer 1

I think the author points indirectly to the answer: He says something like “if I use $i, I’ve a problem but if I use $ii, that’s ok”. It’s $i used before for something else? $i is defined as an array and initialized before first use? The code fragment the author presents is called from any other control structure at a higher level?
