Problem with: Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in Ask Question

<p>You get this error when attempting to use the short array push syntax on a string.</p> <p>For example, this</p> <pre> <code>foo = &#39;foo&#39;;foo[] = &#39;bar&#39;; // ERROR!</code></pre> <p>I&#39;d hazard a guess that one or more of your&nbsp;<code>name</code>,&nbsp;<code>date</code>,&nbsp;<code>text</code>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<code>date2</code>&nbsp;variables has been initialised as a string.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong>&nbsp;Looking again at your question, it looks like you don&#39;t actually want to use them as arrays as you&#39;re treating them as strings further down.</p> <p>If so, change your assignments to</p> <pre> <code>$name =$row[&#39;name&#39;]; $date =$row[&#39;date&#39;]; $text =$row[&#39;text&#39;]; $date2 =$row[&#39;date2&#39;];</code></pre>
