Sounds like what your trying to do is: $cartArray[] = array("ItemNumber" => $itemnumber, "Brand" => $brand, "Quantity" => $itemqty, "ItemName" => $itemname); This will give you: $cartArray[0]["ItemNumber"] = $itemnumber; $cartArray[0]["Brand"] = $brand; $cartArray[0]["Quantity"] = $itemqty; $cartArray[0]["ItemName"] = $itemname; Running the very top statement again will give you: $cartArray[1]["ItemNumber"] = $itemnumber; $cartArray[1]["Brand"] = $brand; $cartArray[1]["Quantity"] = $itemqty; $cartArray[1]["ItemName"] = $itemname; Note that $cartArray[] = $val is just a short hand way of doing array_push($cartArray, $val); Cheers, Owen Prime http://www.noggin.com.au Jonathan Duncan wrote: > I am trying to create an array to hold shopping cart information.
