The new array generated by explode overwrites current memory location rather then assiging the new values to the current memory. Suffucient example is provided example output with 'XXXXX' were just removed for identity purposes. Reproduce code: --------------- //data assignments!!! $outgoing = array( "primtransactionid" => &$incoming[0], "origtransactionid" => &$incoming[1], "prnttransactionid" => &$incoming[2], "datecreated" => &$incoming[3], "productid" => &$incoming[4], "amount" => &$incoming[5], "firstname" => &$incoming[6], "lastname" => &$incoming[7], "address1" => &$incoming[8], "address2" => &$incoming[9], "city" => &$incoming[10], "state" => &$incoming[11], "zip" => &$incoming[12], "country" => &$incoming[13], "phonenumber" => &$incoming[14], "email" => &$incoming[15], "ipaddress" => &$incoming[16], "ssn" => &$incoming[17], "dob" => &$incoming[18], "maiden" => &$incoming[19], "field1" => &$incoming[20], "field2" => &$incoming[21], "stampprocess" => &$incoming[22], "status" => &$incoming[23], "completion" => &$incoming[24], "exception" => &$incoming[25], "exceptiondate" => &$incoming[26], ); //ebonus default settings per offer //section removed this area made a curl to a secure site to retrieve transactions each transaction is divided by a '\r\n' then each sub data is divided by a ';' like so the actual list is above Example: 111123;111123;john;doe;2007-04-03;C\r\n //end removed // get the data from the curl $post = new Post($_EPOST['efs01'], array()); //get the data retrieved from the curl and explode each transaction by '\r\n' $transactions = explode("\r\n", $post->result); //run each transaction foreach ($transactions as $id => $transaction) { //assign incoming the exploded data which should be pointed to with the outgoing pointers... incoming[0], incoming[1] etc... $incoming = explode(";", $transaction); //outgoing should display incomings data with the assoc array names created above... print_r($incoming); print_r($outgoing); die(); } Expected result: ---------------- This was the work around to make this work: foreach ($transactions as $id => $transaction) { $temp = explode(";", $transaction); foreach($temp as $id => $value) $incoming[$id] = $value; print_r($incoming); print_r($outgoing); die(); } Array ( [0] => 134661267834 [1] => 134661267834 [2] => [3] => 2007-03-20 00:00:35 [4] => 891231 [5] => 124.90 [6] => XXXXX [7] => rillon [8] => 41-956 XXXXX hwy [9] => [10] => waimanalo [11] => XX [12] => 96795 [13] => USA [14] => XXXXXX5963 [15] => chelsey96795@XXXXX.com [16] => 66.8.180.61 [17] => .
