Jeff, >From my recent readings, and others please correct me here, I think you need to first declare the variables inside the Class, i.e., var $srvr['etime'] = array(); var $srvr['etime']['server']; -- then assign a value to them: var $srvr['etime']['server'] = '27.22.1.5:1433'; In other words, these must be separate steps. Not too sure about the syntax for declaring an array in the above. Maybe this needs to be separate steps, too?
