Re: associative arrays

Ah, ok. It's not much harder: pval *tmp_arr; array_init(return_value); MAKE_STD_ZVAL(tmp_arr); array_init(tmp_arr); add_assoc_string(tmp_arr, "string index", "foo", 1); zend_hash_index_update(Z_ARRVAL_P(return_value), 5, &tmp_arr, sizeof(tmp_arr), NULL); This will create $whatever[5]['string index'] = 'foo' Or if you want a string index at the top level: zend_hash_update(Z_ARRVAL_P(return_value), "bar", strlen("bar")+1, &tmp_arr, sizeof(tmp_arr), NULL); This will create $whatever['bar']['string index'] = 'foo'; -Rasmus On Mon, 13 Aug 2001, Thomas Wentzel wrote: > Uhhh sorry! > > What I should have said is that...
