Hi, I'm trying to step through this array when the "further " button is pressed and it should change the image in the div when I echo it out.

I'm getting the following error

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in C:\wamp\www\SUN_DRAGON_GAME\gamestart.php on line 224

here is the array

$currentLocation = array
( 
'teardrop_ocean_bg' => array
   (
   'level_1'=>"<img src='<img src='sundragon_environments/ocean/ocean1_FRAME.jpg'/>'",
   'level_2'=>"<img src='<img src='sundragon_environments/ocean/ocean1_FRAME2.jpg'/>'",
   'level_3'=>"<img src='<img src='sundragon_environments/ocean/ocean1_FRAME3.jpg'/>'",
   'level_4'=>"<img src='<img src='sundragon_environments/ocean/ocean1_FRAME.jpg'/>'",
   'level_5'=>"<img src='<img src='sundragon_environments/ocean/ocean1_FRAME.jpg'/>'"
   )
);

and here is the code I'm using to try to step through the "teardrop_ocean" array.

$currentLocation='teardrop_ocean';//declare variables/this is set after we click on image map link for teardrop
$currentLocArray='';
//the following is set after we click on the teardrop ocean link on the image map .

//check if the current location is teardrop ocean, if so, set current loc array to the teardrop ocean bg array.
if($currentLocation=='teardrop_ocean'&& !empty($_POST['further']))
{
   $currentLocArray=$currentLocation['teardrop_ocean_bg'];
}

//if in teardrop, and further is pressed, go to next element, which is a new img src background.
if($currentLocArray==$currentLocation['teardrop_ocean_bg']&& !empty($_POST['further']))
{
   next($currentLocation['teardrop_ocean_bg']);
}

any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. Derek

I changed the code. This just shows up a black div. Not the image.

$currentLocation='teardrop_ocean';//declare variables/this is set after we click on image map link for teardrop
$currentLocArray='';
//the following is set after we click on the teardrop ocean link on the image map .

//check if the current location is teardrop ocean, if so, set current loc array to the teardrop ocean bg array.
if($currentLocation=='teardrop_ocean'&& !empty($_POST['further']))
{
    $echoLocation=next($teardrop_ocean_bg);
}

I output $echoLocation later on inside the div.
