Try
$precinct = array (
array ('number'=>2324,
'centerlat'=>-122.31705665588379,
'centerlong'=>47.710367959402525,
...
$number = $precinct[$filename-1]['number'];
^ ^ ^

filename is a variable so it needs a $. number is a string, so it needs single
quotes. The same is true when you're creating the array.
