Is there a way to make an array with only the key defined? That maybe will help me. $area = array('news' => array('admin')); print_r($area) gives me: Array ( [corporativo] => Array ( [0] => classificados ) ) The key is '0', I need key 'classificados' without a value, so I can make this: function MakePowers ($area, $powers) { foreach ($powers as $value) { $_SESSION[$area] = $value; } } But this gives me ILLEGAL OFFSET error on $_SESISON[$area]; Any help? Again? :-) -- Julio Nobrega. Um dia eu chego lá: http://sourceforge.net/projects/toca Ajudei? Salvei?
