Re: Multidimensional array

A multidimensional array is just an array whose values are themselves arrays. So ... $thing="2002-11"; // or whatever $issue=array(); $issue[$thing]=array(); $issue[$thing]['number']="this"; $issue[$thing]['headline']="that"; And if you ksort($issue), the key/value associations will be maintained; you're just changing the order of the elements. If you want to sort by other "fields", array_multisort() may be for you. p On Thu, Nov 28, 2002 at 09:11:03AM -0800, Mako Shark wrote: > > Here is a problem I'm having similar to somethnig > someone just posted, but not quite the same.
