I have an array that looks like this: [hours] => Array

       (
           [0] => Array
               (
                   [file] => capture.0400.jpg
                   [path] => spool/.2006/11/17/04
                   [year] => 2006
                   [month] => 11
                   [day] => 17
                   [hhmm] => 0400
               )

           [1] => Array
               (
                   [file] => capture.0500.jpg
                   [path] => spool/.2006/11/17/05
                   [year] => 2006
                   [month] => 11
                   [day] => 17
                   [hhmm] => 0500
               )
       )

Is there a way that I can simply loop through each array and convert the keys into variables? I want to avoid having to write lines of: $file = $array[0][file]; $path = $array[0][path]; $year = $array[0][year]; $month = $array[0][month]; $day = $array[0][day]; $hhmm = $array[0][hhmm]; -- A -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
