Using a variable as the key to an array

[bentleykf]

i want to do the following but php is giving me a hard time doing this

echo $pictures[$namearray[1]][1];

the variable $namearray[1] equals fosters1, which is the key. If i replace this with the following

echo $pictures[fosters1][1];

it works fine, so whats up????

 

[sleipnir214]

$pictures[fosters1][1] works because PHP is interpreting it as
$pictures['fosters1'][1]

I've not had problems using an array element's value as the index of another array. What do you mean by "giving [you] a hard time"?
