You can't have $array['val1'] be a string ('whatever') and also an array (['val2']).. Or is that 5 different examples? Untested Code: <?php $string = "val1~~val2~~val3~~val4~~val5"; $keys = explode("~~", $string); $keys = array_reverse($keys); $array = 'whatever'; while (list(, $key) = each($keys)){ $array[$key] = $array; } var_dump($array); ?> -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
