May I recommend you to http://php.net where you will find the answer to most of your queries, simply by looking under a generic area, such as array (http://php.net/array) for this particular problem. Surely you have been around here long enough to be able to find things in the documentation, or at least try there first, by now? Cheers -- David Robley Do fish get thirsty?
