re: Re: [PHP-GENERAL] Changing the key of an array?

Close, veeeery close, but not quite there :( The thing I should have mentioned was that I was trying to reset a value which got entered into the associative array like this. $filetypes[""] =34; It has a blank key. I did not set it like above it was set within a loop. ------------------- # FIND AND RECORD FILE EXTENSION FOR FILE REQUESTS ONLY if(eregi("([^\./]*)$",$url,$regs)){ $filetypes[$ext]++; } ------------------- I am trying to delete the value for the blank key. When I do this. unset($filetypes[""]); It clears the entire array which is not the desired effect. Thank for pointing out unset( ), I will defeintely find a use for that in other situations. > would something like > > $this[d] = $this[b]; > unset ($this[b]); > > work?
