Re: Question on using an array

You could try accesing by value number, instead of using value index name. Anyway, I fear that what you're doing is quite illegal, and what is really happening is that when you assign the first 'links.php', it is overwritten by the second assignment, which is in turn overwritten by the third. Try sizeof() and check if you're having 8, or only 6 elements in the array. If the answer is 6... I think you might be in for some re-writing. :( You could probably use a bidimensional array, accesing by index number and retrieveng the two columns of data from it... or something like it.
