Also, for some stupid, stupid reason, when you use unset() on an array, it not only removes the item but it reduces the index, and not in a way you'd expect. For example: $dope = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e"); unset($dope[1]); What *should* happen is the second array item (b) should disappear. What *does* happen is that $dope[1] is unset, AND the index is reduced, but the item isn't deleted. So your array now goes "a", (blank), "c", "d". Both "b" and "e" were lost. Very annoying.
