I nested the whole array in an empty array and that did not work.
Arghh,

Thanks William,
Now the array returns:
Array ( [Cats] => Cats [Dogs] => Dogs [Goats] => Goats
)
Thought that would work... the list in the select is right. But upon submit it throws an "illegal value" error.
Searching on d.o. I found a reference to cck wanting the array to be nested one level deeper? Not sure that was exactly the same situation. Any other ideas?

Sorry if I misunderstand the problem, but could you not use drupal_map_assoc right before you return your array?
$arr = explode("\n", $node->body); return drupal_map_assoc($arr);

Support Folks,
Need/Use-case: a very simple, lightweight UI for a customer to edit options on a select for a CCK field.
Idea to solve it. Create an unpublished node (linked to via for the customer via a custom site-admin block) whose body field are the select-list options. One option per line.
In the CCK field I'm using the PHP option to return an array to create the allowed options:
This following code works... but is not quite what I want: (I know that the client input part should be sanitized for security... but I'm just trying to get it to work before I do that part.)
$sql = "SELECT body FROM {node_revisions} WHERE nid=1274 ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 1"; $res = db_query($sql); $node = db_fetch_object($res); $arr = explode("\n",$node->body); return $arr
from a node body field that looks like:
Cats Dogs Goats
It returns an indexed array like
Array ( [0] => Cats [1] => Dogs [2] => Goats
)
*Problem:* What gets stored in the database is the integer key from the indexed array created by explode(). The data integrity is thus completely dependent upon the order of the items listed. I don't want that. I want people entering the data to be able to change the order. *I want an associative array in which the keys and labels are the same.*
Note that if, via the field configuration UI, I simply list the values in the allowed values box... Drupal turns that list into an associative array in which the keys and values are the same. Exactly what I want! But I don't know how to create that for the custom PHP value set. I'm putting the code here from CCK where this happens. I don't quite get it.
Any hints would be most appreciated,
Shai
