using a counter in a foreach loop

I have a pretty basic question and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction: I have a foreach loop, where I execute some commands for each element in a certain array. One thing I would like to add to this loop is a counter, so that on each iteration of the loop I have a next higher number. The following does not work: foreach ($months) { $i = 1; // do some things $i++; } because in each new iteration of the loop, $i is reset to 1. Is there a way that I can achieve this effect? Thanks for any advice, Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H. Brown pricee@hhbrown.com
