Re: How do I make an array like this?

This is how I understand your question: you have a file (WallCost.csv) that has a key and two values. You want the key to be a key in an associative array (a hash) and the value to be a two-element array containing the two values for the key. That is to say: $wallCab ["Mel140"] = array (0.85, 0.25); $wallCab ["Mel120"] = array (1.05, 0.5); etc.... If this is the case, then I would write some code like this: //---------------------------------------------------------- // This algorithm assumes there is no whitespace at the beginning // of each line. If there is, it is rather simple to eliminate // whitespaces. // Assigns each line of the file to an element of the $lines array. $lines = file ("WallCost.csv"); // Iterate on each line of the file for ($i = 0; $i < count ($lines); $i++) { list ($key, $val1, $val2) = split (",", $lines [$i]); // separate key and values $wallCab [$key] = array ($val1, $val2); // build $wallCab } //---------------------------------------------------------- And that's it. I won't guarantee that this will actually work, but it should at least give you an idea of where to go if it doesn't. And of course, if it does work, great! :o) I hope this helps! Stephen.
