I was running Allowee's example array.. array( 'a' => 'one', 'b' => 'one', 'c' => 'zero', 'd' => 'two' ); through this and am having a hind time with then logic... Could you explain how the output would be array('c' => 'zero', 'd' => 'two')?? Thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
