That's not so hard either... Print the contents of an array where you don't know how many elements there are: <? function ReturnArray() { srand( (double)microtime() * 1000000 ); $Count = rand( 5, 50 ); echo "Creating $Count entries<BR>\n"; for( $I=0; $I<$Count; $I++ ) { $Array[] = rand( 0, 500 ); } return $Array; } $AnotherArray = ReturnArray(); $Count = 0; while( list( $Index, $Value ) = each( $AnotherArray )) { $Count ++; echo "Count: $Count Index: $Index Value: $Value<BR>\n"; } ?> You can try it: http://www.rickwidmer.com/arraytest.php Or see the source: http://www.rickwidmer.com/arraytest.phps Rick Widmer Internet Marketing Specialists http://www.developersdesk.com
