Well thank you for all your help... now I can print the array just fine. But I am having another problem... I need to put that variable into an "in_array" function... like: if(in_array($user[UserName],array($userarr))) I can't print it into the array, and $userarr[0] doesn't seem to work. Can you help me with this one? - Czaries Out www.czaries.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bug Database" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 2:34 PM Subject: Bug #10861 Updated: Array bug w/MySQL > ID: 10861 > Updated by: cmv > Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Status: Bogus > Bug Type: Arrays related > Operating system: > PHP Version: 4.0.5 > Assigned To: > Comments: > > You can't "print" an array in PHP.
