PHP String in Array Only Returns First Character

[krooz]

For the next week, I'm stuck with a sadly very slow 1-bar EDGE internet connection, so forgive me if I didn't spend quite enough time researching this one, but I just set up a local server for testing code that I would normally test over the internet, and it doesn't seem to be working the same way on my local LAMP install.The issue is, when I do this:\[code\]echo strtolower($_REQUEST['page']);\[/code\]the result is this:\[code\]files\[/code\]However, when I do this:\[code\]$page['name'] = strtolower($_REQUEST['page']);echo $page['name'];\[/code\]the result is this:\[code\]f\[/code\]No, that's not a typo, it consistently returns only the first letter of the string. Doing a var_dump($page) will result in string(5) "files", but doing a var_dump($page['name']) will result in string(1) "f". I'm using PHP 5.2.1.What is going on here?Thanks!Ari
