Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /home/anima22/public_html/testvb/journal.php on line 388

what does that mean?

here is the code i just added:

$total= $DB_site->query("SELECT SUM(entrycount) AS entries,SUM(commentcount) AS comments FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."journals WHERE active=1");
$total['entries']= vb_number_format($total['entries']);
$total['comments']= vb_number_format($total['comments']);


thank in advance:)
