I have code that is supposed to do something like this:

myArray[0] = “0x123456, 123,121,123,455”;  
myArray[1] = “0x222222,344,566,343,543”;

exc…

How could I get it to work?

What I am trying to do is store a bunch of strings, then play them all back later.

$myArray = array();  
$myArray[] = “0x123456, 123,121,123,455”;  
$myArray[] = “0x222222,344,566,343,543”;

tried that?
