Array only taking first character of string

Need help with a small problem that I just don't understand.

Example code (in a for-loop):

switch($something)
{
	case 'Apple': $fruit="APP";break;
	case 'Banana': $fruit="BAN";break;
	case 'Orange': $fruit="ORA";break;
}
$fruitarray[$i]=$fruit;

Code (markup):

$fruitarray will then only contain the first letter (A,B or O) of the string. What am I missing?

Thank you

 

Try something like this.

// make a dictionary instead of a switch
$fruitkeys = array('Apple' => 'APP', 'Banana' => 'BAN', 'Orange' => 'ORA');

// do whatever in for loop
for (...) {
 $fruitarray[$i] = $fruitkeys[$something];
}

// debug
print_r($fruitarray);

PHP:

Doing so, you don't have to do a switch, will shave off some microseconds.

 

Thank you for the tip but it doesn't solve the problem.

 

Can you show me your whole code?

 

Solved.

I know it was something silly.
I accidentaly uses the same variable for two different things.
