copied!<p>The problem is that you so called arrays are strings!</p> <pre><code>global $field1; global $field2; var_dump($feild1,$feild2); //Will tell you that there strings </code></pre> <p>Read the error properly !</p> <p><strong>[]</strong> operator not supported for <strong>strings</strong></p> <p>And the only place your using the <code>[]</code> is withing the <code>$feild</code> <em>- X</em> values</p> <p>GLOBAL must work because the error is telling you a data-type, i.e string so they must have been imported into scope.</p> <hr> <p>another thing, why you selecting all columns when your only using 2 of them, change your query to so:</p> <pre><code>$sql = mysql_query("SELECT feild1,feild2 FROM table WHERE field_name = '$input'"); </code></pre> <p>another thing is that your using <code>mysql_fetch_array</code> witch returns an integer indexed array, where as you want <code>mysql_fetch_assoc</code> to get the keys.</p> <pre><code>while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)) : $field1[] = $row['field1']; $field2[] = $row['field2']; endwhile; </code></pre> <hr> <h2><strong>What I would do</strong></h2> <pre><code>function SomeFunction($variable,&$array_a,&$array_b) { $sql = mysql_query("SELECT field1,field2 FROM table WHERE field_name = '$variable'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)) { $array_a[] = $row['field1']; $array_b[] = $row['field2']; } mysql_free_result($sql); } </code></pre> <p>Then use like so.</p> <pre><code>$a = array(); $b = array(); SomeFunction('Hello World',&$a,&$b); </code></pre>
