Thanks for any advice, Put the $i = 1 outside the loop. $i = 1; foreach ($months) { // do some things $i++; } Incidentally, I *really* hope you're not planning on doing: $i = 1; foreach ($months) { echo "month ". $i. " is ". $months[$i]. "<br>"; $i++; } if you are, I suggest you play around with foreach ($months as $currentMonth) { and see where it gets you :-) Cheers Jon
