are you getting an error or warning on your PHP page, so what does this error mean?
Warning: Illegal string offset 'MyArray' in htdocs/test.php on line 5
this is what i had on my code on line 5

<?php
function SomeFunction($MyArray){
return;
}
echo SomeFunction($MyArray['name']);
?>

as you can see im calling a function which needs an array, and instead i am pushing only one element of the array instead of the whole array. so to fix this just change line 5 to this:

echo SomeFunction($MyArray);

hope that helps

in simple terms, all it means that what you are parsing is not an array but a string.

for example, this is what can create the error:

echo myfunction($string);

you fix it, you should use this format:

echo myfunction($array);

hope that helps
