Foreach returns a COPY of the contents... if you want to modify the contents use the key... eg: foreach ($aLines as $key=>$entry) { if ($aLines[$key]->host == "") $aLines[$key]->host = "Teststring"; print $aLines[$key]->host."\n"; // prints "Teststring" } That way your altering the master array and not the copy -- Dan Hardiker [dhardiker@staff.firstcreative.net] ADAM Software & Systems Engineer
