You should replace the } in your array code with a ) instead that should work:

PHP Code:

<?php

         
$meals = array("breakfast" => 'cereal',"lunch" => 'hot dogs',"dinner" => 'hamburgers');   

echo $meals[2];
//echo $meals [lunch]. "";
//echo $meals [dinner]. "";

?>

thank you it works now. i guess my "warranty" on my eyes is over.
i tried a little twist with the code and it doesn't work here's what i did:

Code:

<?php 

         
$meals = array("breakfast" => 'oatmeal',"lunch" => 'hot dogs',"dinner" => 'hamburgers');    

print_r($meals);
?>

<?php
echo $meals['1'];
?>

this echo tag doesn't return anything. OHHH maybe i have to delete the closing php tag and opening for the second command.no just tried it and that didn't work. but if i put in breakfast the script returns a value "oatmeal" can't one use the key [1] etc. to return a value?
thanks for your help.
