I hope this was > correct, if not, Andrei can correct me :) If I'm not completely mistaken, PHP has only associative arrays, which can act more or less like "normal" indexed arrays when numbers are used as keys, which is the default when no keys are set explicitly, like in: $arr = array('a', 'b', 'c'); which equals $arr = array(0 => 'a', 1 => 'b', 2 => 'c'); But they are still associative, afaik. However, I agree, the only way to make a distinction is to look if the keys are integers. regards Wagner -- Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups.
