Function Problem. Please help

[bennetjosem]

This one isnt working!

function insertpath($num){
echo "          <td colspan=\"3\" align=\"left\"> \n";
echo "              <b>Date Published</b>:",$Date_Added[$num] ,"\n";
echo "              <b>Sample</b>:",$Sample_Views[$num],"</td>\n";
}
insertpath(0);

But this one Works

echo "          <td colspan=\"3\" align=\"left\"> \n";
echo "              <b>Date Published</b>:",$Date_Added[$num] ,"\n";
echo "              <b>Sample</b>:",$Sample_Views[$num],"</td>\n";

Well not woking in the sense the values of variables ($Date_Added[$num],$Sample_Views[$num]) not coming in the first. Whil in second its working!

Help me :(

There are two things you need to do to troubleshoot this problem. INSIDE your function, at the very top, do this:

First, echo out one of the arrays like this:
[PHP]
echo "";
print_r($Date_Added);
echo "";
[/PHP]

Then echo out the value of $num:
[PHP]
echo "".$num;
[/PHP]

You should see that $num = 0, but that your array does not even exist. You forgot one important line at the top of your function:
[PHP]
global $Date_Added, $Sample_Views;
[/PHP]

Maybe concat syntax error :o

THIS....
echo "Sample:",$Sample_Views[$num],"\n";

SHOULD BE THIS....
echo "Sample:".$Sample_Views[$num]."\n";
