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.

Hello All, What version of PHP are you using? I tried the following code snippet in PHP 4.0.0 on NT and PHP 3.0.12 on BSDi: <pre> <? $filetypes[""] =34; $filetypes["a"] =12; $filetypes["b"] =23; var_dump ($filetypes); unset ($filetypes[""]); var_dump ($filetypes); ?> and got the following output for (formatted for your viewing pleasure :): array(3) { [""] => int(34) ["a"]=> int(12) ["b"]=> int(23) } array(2) { ["a"]=> int(12) ["b"]=>int(23) } In any case, a better solution would be to skip over or re-assign the empty values.
