John, I did this, and got my arrays dumped (on one line). After adding line returns, here is a snippet: [code=array dump] array(38) { ["show_01"]=> array(5) { ["title"]=> string(29) "Van Cliburn Gold Medal Winner" ["date"]=> string(16) "Tues. 10/13/2009" ["time"]=> string(4) "11am" ["price"]=> float(4) ["soldout"]=> int(0) } ["show_02"]=> array(5) { ["title"]=> string(22) "Jack and the Beanstalk" ["date"]=> string(15) "Fri. 10/23/2009" ["time"]=> string(4) "11am" ["price"]=> float(4) ["soldout"]=> int(0) } [/code] and for reference, my original php used to set up arrays [code=shows.php] $shows = array(); $show_01 = array(); $show_01['title'] = 'Van Cliburn Gold Medal Winner'; $show_01['date'] = 'Tues. 10/13/2009'; $show_01['time'] = '11am'; $show_01['price'] = 4.00; $show_01['soldout'] = 0; //IF THE SHOW SELLS OUT, CHANGE "0" to "1" (without quotations). $shows['show_01'] = $show_01; $show_02 = array(); $show_02['title'] = 'Jack and the Beanstalk'; $show_02['date'] = 'Fri. 10/23/2009'; $show_02['time'] = '11am'; $show_02['price'] = 4.00; $show_02['soldout'] = 0; //IF THE SHOW SELLS OUT, CHANGE "0" to "1" (without quotations). $shows['show_02'] = $show_02; [/code] Does this dump look right?
