<snip> The question is the - the assigned string key - is there a way to retrieve that in a loop? Foreach, for, while or otherwise? </snip> I think this is what you want. http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php foreach(array_expression as $value) statement foreach(array_expression as $key => $value) statement The first form loops over the array given by array_expression. On each loop, the value of the current element is assigned to $value and the internal array pointer is advanced by one (so on the next loop, you'll be looking at the next element). The second form does the same thing, except that the current element's key will be assigned to the variable $key on each loop.
