Variable inside of an array (PHP)

[applehost]

Pardon my ignorance, I'm not much of a coder. I tinker, but that's about it.

Anyhow, as the title suggest I am having a problem loading a variable inside of an array. Or better yet, setting the value of the array from a variable. I'm not sure if that makes sense so I'll just show examples:


Below is what I am trying to accomplish, I want to define the $links variable inside config.php

PHP Code:

.
.
.
@require("config.php");
    $okfiles = array($links);
.
.
. 


However, that does not work.

PHP Code:

.
.
.
@require("config.php");
    $okfiles = array('link1','link2','link3','etc');
.
.
. 


This works, and is how I currently have it setup but it's not what I want.


Make sense?

actually, it should work but in the first non-working example you're inserting an array in the first array item.

maybe you could use

$okfiles = $other_array + $okfiles

If you just want to make an array equal to another array, you can use something like this:

PHP Code:

$okfiles = $files; 


If you want to merge to arrays, you can use:

PHP Code:

$okfiles = array_merge($okfiles, $files); 


If you want to append a new item to an array:

PHP Code:

$newItem = "The link";
$okfiles[] = $newItem;
