How to assign value of a variable to array in php

Try the following:

$array1['key1'] = $var1;

You can also do the following:

 $array1 = array( 'key1' => $var1);

But you need to remove ; from your code.

Simple as this.. Just remove the ;

 <?php
 $var1 = 'foo';
 $array1 = array( 'key1' => $var1 );

you can use, $array1 = array('key1' => $var1);

single dimensional array structure:

array('key'=>'value', 'key2'=>'value' ...);

Try

$var1='foo';
    $array1 = array(
        'key1' => $var1
    );

OR

$array1['key1'] = $var1;

Try this, I think this will help you

    $var="abc";
      $array=array('name'=>$var);
       echo $array['name'];
