Re: Array confusion.

H- Thanks to all that wrote in with input on this issue. I really appreciate the assistance. Thanks to CC Zona and James for the code sample. It looks like there were typo's in my code and it threw me for a minute after recieving/applying all the emails. That backslash wasn't suppose to be in the original email I sent out, it was just from my Emacs window wrapping and the = next to Dec became a problem after I quoted everything else but I found it eventually. Thanks again. It's now working as I expected it too. -Sterling CC Zona wrote: > > In article <3ABA565C.D65183EE@omeninc.com>, > smullett@omeninc.com (Sterling) wrote: > > > $m = "03"; > > $list = array(01=>"Jan", 02=>"Feb", 03=>"Mar", > > 04=>"Apr", 05=>"May", > > 06=>"Jun", 07=>"Jul", 08=>"Aug", > > 09=>"Sep\", 10=>"Oct", 11=>"Nov", > > 12="Dec"); > > $month = $list[$m]; > > print "$month\n"; > > > > What I want to print is the month in Text format, which in this instance > > should be Mar . > > I even tried: $month = array_keys($list, $m); > > > > Now I know that $list[x]; references the location of an item so I know > > why the previous code doesn't work in that respect, since nowhere is 01 > > a location but an association within the array.
