array code error

Question

I have an array but something goes wrong with it, here is my code :

 $date = array (1 => "$row['turning']", 2 => "$row['smiling']");

and this code is displaying this error

unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

some light please .

If your variable is an array then you need to enclose it in curly brackets:

$date = array (1 => "{$row['turning']}", 2 => "{$row['smiling']}");

Although you should just do:

$date = array (1 => $row['turning'], 2 => $row['smiling']);

You can't concatenate two variables and then try to assign a value to it.
