For one thing, you should put your textual keys in quotes, so $List[1][Name]
becomes $List[1]["Name"]. PHP shouldn't support the method you use (as,
technically, Name should be a constant in your script, not a textual key) -
it just does to prevent people's code from breaking :)

Try changing that and see if it helps.

If not, put some values in your array then put this command at the very end
of your script:

var_dump($List);

It will display the contents of the $List variable, letting you see if
things are as they should be.
