To: Jason Carson <jason@jasoncarson.ca> It's used in key value combinations in several places. When building an array: $foo = array('key' => 'value', 'another_key' => 'another value'); which will give you an array that looks like $foo['key'] = 'value'; $foo['another_key'] = 'another_value'; Also, in foreach(), which is a language construct used to iterate over arrays: foreach($foo as $key => $val) {  echo "The key for this element is $key and the value is $val\n"; } will output: The key for this element is key and the value is value The key for this element is another_key and the value is another_value Those are the two most common places you'll see it (and perhaps the only, I don't want to speak conclusively, though, I'm awfully tired this evening!)
