Not quite following your code completely. For instance, where does
array(3601) come from?
Your loop is putting and array into an slot in another array. I think
what you are trying to do is just put a value in a named slot, like
this:
for($counter = 0; $counter <= 3600; $counter++)
{
$dateArray[ array(date("Y.m.d H:i:s", $now - $counter) ] =
(int)ceil(980 - ($counter * .2333333333333)));
}
That should give you the output you are looking for.

I'm pulling date-times out of a MySQL db:
mysql> select date_format(`date_time`, '%Y.%m.%d %H:%i:%s') as rightNow
from location1 order by date_time desc limit 1;
+----------------------------+
| rightNow |
+----------------------------+
| 2005.06.08 14:24:11 |
+----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
then trying to create an associative array where the date-time is the
key
and a value, corresponding to a pixel location on a graph, is computed
using an algorithm like this:
(int)ceil(980 - ($counter * .2333333333333)); (see below)
This code snippet is producing an array of arrays rather than a simple
associative array:
<?php
$now = time();
//$dateArray = array(); (output is the same with or without this line)
for($counter = 0; $counter <= 3600; $counter++)
{
$dateArray[] = array(date("Y.m.d H:i:s", $now - $counter) =>
(int)ceil(980 - ($counter * .2333333333333)));
}
?>
output:
array(3601) { [0]=> array(1) { ["2005.06.08 15:50:17"]=> int(980) }
[1]=>
array(1)
{ ["2005.06.08 15:50:16"]=> int(980) } [2]=> array(1) { ["2005.06.08
15:50:15"]=> int(980) } [3]=> array(1)
{ ["2005.06.08 15:50:14"]=> int(980) } [4]=> array(1) { ["2005.06.08
15:50:13"]=> int(980) } [5]=> array(1)
{ ["2005.06.08 15:50:12"]=> int(979) } [6]=> array(1) { ["2005.06.08
15:50:11"]=> int(979) } [7]=> array(1) ...
What I need is output like this:
array(3601) { ["2005.06.08 14:52:56"]=> int(980)
["2005.06.08 14:52:55"]=> int(979)
["2005.06.08 14:52:54"]=> int(978)
["2005.06.08 14:52:53"]=> int(977)
etc....
}
so that I can search for a pixel value given a certain time value
within
the past hour.
I hope this makes sense and that someone can see the error in code.
I'm using php 4.3.7, but I see that php 5.x has an array_combine
function
that would do the trick.
Maybe will have to upgrade.
