Printing a dynamic 2D array, C++

Question

I'm attempting to print the contents of a dynamically allocated 2D array. However, when I try to subscript an element I get an error. Any help would be appreciated.

The snippet that makes the array:

   char ** m_points = new char * [m_height];

   for (int y_i=0; y_i<m_height; y_i++)
   {
       m_points[y_i] = new char[m_width];

       for (int x_i=0; x_i<m_width; x_i++)
           m_points[y_i][x_i] = ' ';   
   }

This is supposed to print the arrays contents ( cout << m_points[y_i][x_i] is where the error is occurring):

   for (int y_i=0; y_i<m_height; y_i++)
   {       
       for (int x_i=0; x_i<m_width; x_i++)
           cout << m_points[y_i][x_i];

       cout << endl;
   }

Error:

invalid types ‘char[int]’ for array subscript

Well I feel like an idiot now, LOL. m_points was a member variable, and I declared it twice (once in the constructor, and once in the header file). After amending this issue, everything works perfectly. Thanks for the help, anyways.
