I can't fiqure out how to set up arrays inside the while loop. Using this: while (list ($key, $val) = each ($orderd_list)) { if ($val == 'n/a'){ $no_plan_list = array ($key => $val);// need an array here for "n/a" }else{ $plan_list = array ($key => $val);// need an array here for numeric vals } } Thanks In Advance, Jim Long
