Wierd problem, probably on server side

I have a wierd problem, that occurs sometimes. I use OSCommerce and when I want to create a droplist with all my customers orders whitin I can only use one value from the orders table. For example only the customers name or the order id. I can't use both customers name and orders id in the droplist.
If I try that I just get a blank page below where that code is starting.

This is what I try to use and doesnt work:

 $customers[] = array('id' => $customer_name,  'text' => $list['orders_id'] . ', '. $list['customers_name']);

Code (markup):

But this code work:

 $customers[] = array('id' => $customer_name,  'text' => $list['orders_id']);

Code (markup):

I have the exactley same problem in the original file admin/mail.php. Its just a blank page.
If I strip that section in mail.php so it looks like this:

'text' => $customers_values['customers_lastname']);

Code (markup):

Then all the form fields and submit button will be displayed.

Since I don't use mail.php that often I don't know how often this problem occurs, but a month ago or so I had the same problem. I then mailed my host and then everytinhng started to working again. One day later I received a responce from my host telling that they havent done anything.

Can anyone help me out whit this?

Thanks,

Have you tried something like this..

$customers[] = array('id' => $customer_name, 'text' => $list['orders_id'], 'customers_name' => $list['customers_name']);

 

Thanks, but unfortunately this code doesn't list the customers name, only the order_id.
You don't hapen to have another solution?

 

Don't join elements while formating an array, do it before:

$var = $list['orders_id'] . ", ". $list['customers_name'];
$customers[] = array('id' => $customer_name,  'text' => $var );

Code (markup):

 

This code also gives me a blank page.
If I remaove $list['customers_name']; so it looks like this

$var = $list['orders_id'];
$customers[] = array('id' => $customer_name,  'text' => $var );

Code (markup):

Then the droplist shows, but of course with only the order_id.

 

Just to clarify. You said you could use just the customer's name as well as the order number. So this works fine?

$var = $list['customers_name'];
$customers[] = array('id' => $customer_name,  'text' => $var );

PHP:

How does this work?

$visible_text = $list['orders_id'] . ", ". $customer_name; // $var is a bad name
$customers[] = array('id' => $customer_name,  'text' => $visible_text);

PHP:

 

Hey, this works . Thanks alot.

Thanks,
