Re: associative arrays

Uhhh sorry! What I should have said is that... The associative array I wish to return is to be an array element of .... an associative array ;) Meaning... I need the functionality of add_assoc_array but since this function doesn't exist - I have to manipulate with the zend_hash_xxx in order to get what I want - but I fail to connect my constructed array with a name...
