PHP is Right. % detecting that $manilist (not $manilist[0]) is an array (for which it % prints "Array"), then you get a literal "[0]" afterwards because you put % it all within quotes.

I'd rather something like print "$i :: ${manilist[$i]}[0]\n" ; (which I know to not work! :-) than to have to open and close; that's just not very clean to me. I'm the sort who doesn't switch in and out of php parsing, either :-) % % HTH, % ~Chris Thanks & TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
