No, I'm being a twit :) In my defense, It was a 3am moment - trying to push assoc key=>items onto an array when $array[$val[0]] = $val[1] works. For background: I'm parsing $QUERY_STRING, explode()ing it by "&" and then splitting each form element and it's associative value into an associative array within a loop, so that I can access the array by form element ($array[$form_element]) and get the resultant value. *phew* and after all that I find parse_url() ;) Peter Lockhart > -robin
