Re: Array truncates after first letter

Double check what you're actually doing:

> foreach ($popular[2]['Project'] as $project)
means you're going over the fields inside $popular[2]['Project'].
The first time $project will be "Gallery" (the first field inside
['Project']).
The next time it'll be "This is for testing...." and so on.
Then you're trying to echo $project['name'],
i.e. the ['name'] part of the string "Gallery".
Surely that'll have unintended consequences...
