nice catch on the double neg Rory :-)
$data = array(); // You should initialise $data to array() for various reasons:

is it always necessary to call array() when you do something like this:
mysql_query("SELECT ....");
while($rows .....)
{
$data[] = $rows;
}
if so, why? i have a habit of never calling array() and someone told me
i shouldn't do this.
Someone told you you shouldn't not call array() - in other words you
should call array(). If I'm reading you correctly then the someone is
right. You should not use a variable without initialising it, unless
it comes from a form, in which case you should not use it without
"cleaning" it.
