Will this also work with an associative array? If this is what he is talking about, I tried it and it does not work.... I put this together though and it works, not sure if it is the *best* way though... <?php

        $colors =

array('white'=>'#ffffff','black'=>'#000000','blue'=>'#0000ff');

        $count = 0;

One thing that might help you guys... now and in in the future are the functions var_dump() and print_r(). You can wrap these with <pre></pre> tags to make it all pretty and formatted for reading too. If you're unsure of what exactly is happening with your data try this: $colors = array('white'=>'#ffffff','black'=>'#000000','blue'=>'#0000ff'); print_r($colors); ... and you will see: Array ( [white] => #ffffff [black] => #000000 [blue] => #0000ff ) So you would call $colors['black'] to access #000000.
