RE: Adding to multi-dimensional array dynamically via push...

[Liss, Mike]

I am trying to create a multi-dimensional array

        $MyArray[ $SizeOfMyArray ];

So I can do this:

        print " $MyArray[ 0 ][ 0 ] \n";


And what I want to do is add items to the array dynamically

Why are you trying to define the size of your array?

(see below )

What are you trying to do?  Assign '0' to the first position of the array,
or push 0 onto the array in the first position of the array?

The first would look like:
$MyArray[0]=0;
The second would look like:
push ($MyArray[0],0);

                Hope this helps,
