Re: Strange Array Error

[Brent Baisley <brent@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are making the first element of the array $test_array and array 
item. An array inside and array.
$test_array[] = array() is the same as $test_array[0] = array()

So what you are trying to do is add $i to an array. Kind of like trying 
to figure out what happens when you add 1 to the color red.

Try one of these:
$test_array = array()
or
$test_array = array(0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

Basically, drop the brackets. You use brackets to reference and array 
element, not the array itself.
