When I first started using PHP I read about xx_fetch_array supporting both named and numeric keys and I thought that it was a general capability of PHP to reference values in an array with both a number and/or a name if you specified a name for the key. ie: in the array: $array = array("name" => "bob"); I could return "bob" with both: $array["name"] and $array[0] I was very wrong and when I printed out the array returned by pg_fetch_array to see why/how their existed an exception to this: Array([0]=>Presentation[module_category] =>Presentation[1]=>textarea[module_name]=>textarea[2] => 1[id] => 1) It explains how in the case of xx_fetch_array you can use either a numeric or associative key value - They've added every value twice! Once with a numeric key and once with the named key. This technique could be useful for your own code. Furthermore, coming from using Tango and Purity's WebSiphon I kept looking for a means to refer to a value in relative manner without necessarily knowing key values. ie: $array[1st item][2nd item]; Initially I thought $array[0][1]; would do this, but ONLY if they used ONLY numeric indexes and only if you KNOW FOR SURE that the keys start with [0] and increment without ever skipping. Bottom line: there is no means to directly reference a value in an array relatively.
