Hi Jochem,

If each key of this array is going to contain only one value why not
reduce the array to something like this :
array(1) {
[1.2]=
array(2) {
[code]= string(3) 111
[status]= string(3) new
}
}
That's all I was referring to ...
ah yes - I can see your point!

That seems right to me too - but everything I try returns NULL. I set
$try=$var[0], and $try ends up being null; print_r($try) gives blank.
I even tried $try=$var[1] and it was the same result. Am I in the

RE: [PHP] EZ array problem - What's wrong with my brain?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
If you check out the documentation on arrays, you will see the second
code example shows the expected behavior of arrays in this case.
$arr = array(foo = bar, 12 = true);
echo $arr[foo]; // bar
echo $arr[12];// 1
Now, since each element can be indexed by either a string or an integer,
then you can do something like this:
$arr = array(1.2 = array(1,2,3,4));
$arr[0] = $arr[1.2];
That would set up your doubly indexed array so that you could use either
associative keys or numeric keys.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php
PHP.net can explain how references work better than I can. Basically it
creates a symbolic link (to use a *nix term) to the key 1.2. It
shouldn't take up too much memory to do that.

RE: [PHP] EZ array problem - What's wrong with my brain?
I forgot to mention that you won't be able to use 0, 1, etc. as PHP
will convert those to integers. If you do use them, then they will
replace [0] with whatever you put in there, and if you are using the
references, it will replace both instances with your new [0]

Re: [PHP] EZ array problem - What's wrong with my brain?
Well if the key of your array is unknown, you could always gather the
key names with array_keys() and fiddle something from there or just
change the structure of you array to be more adapted to you needed or
use what Ray just proposed in another post concerning references and the
creation of a numeric key as a symbolic link towards your string key ...
Good luck !
