Not sure if it works for numeric indices, but maybe you could replace $piece[3] with (array_key_exists(3, $piece) ? $piece[3] : ""). If you want you could abstract that into a function, like function array_access_element($key, $srch_array, $def=""){ return array_key_exists($key, $srch_array) ? $srch_array[$key] : $def; } On 6/17/05, Ross <ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > As with my previous post the problem is the pieces of the array can vary > from 1 to 4 items.
