PHP Function- Help Please

[jpastora]

I'm trying to generate an array for a price selection box and i keep
getting this error on the php page:

"Parse error: parse error, expecting `'('' in
/var/www/html/site/index.php on line 13"

Line 13 refers to "array_name= array["0"];" line.
I've tried:

-"array_name= array("0");"

Could someone help, the code is below.
function price_array($array_name){
$array_name= array["0"]; //declare array
for ($i=0;$i <= 10000000;$i=$i+100000){
$array_name = array_push($array_name,"$i");
}
return $array_name;
}

//call
$smarty->assign('sell_price1', array (price_array('price_from')));

function price_array($array_name){ You don't need to pass the array name to the function.
$array_name= array["0"]; //declare array Bad syntax
for ($i=0;$i <= 10000000;$i=$i+100000){
$array_name = array_push($array_name,"$i"); array_push() returns an integer.
This line assigns 1 to $array_name;
the next time through the loop it will try to add an element to
$array_name which /is not/ an array!
Please see the manual: http://www.php.net/array_push
}
return $array_name;
}
I'd do that like this:

function price_array() {
$local_array = array(); // initialize local array
for ($i = 0; $i <= 10000000; $i += 100000) {
$local_array[] = $i;
}
return $local_array;
}
//call
$smarty->assign('sell_price1', array (price_array('price_from')));

and call it like this (I'm copying your syntax -- never used
smarty -- it may be wrong):

$smarty->assign('sell_price1', price_array());
