I think the problem here is your understanding on how array key's work.
The following method would be far more appropriate:
<?php
// Create 00 to 23 in the array
// 00 will store hits between midnight and 1am,
// 01 for 1am - 2am ...
// 23 for 11pm - midnight
$timespread = array();
for ($cnt=0; $cnt<24; $cnt++) {
$timespread[str_pad($cnt,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT)] = 0;
}
/* here you must work out the hour, and round *DOWN* (truncate off the
minutes .. eg: for the current time */
$timespread[date("H")]++;
?>
follow or have I lost ya?
