Well if the key of your array is unknown, you could always gather the key names with array_keys() and fiddle something from there or just change the structure of you array to be more adapted to you needed or use what Ray just proposed in another post concerning references and the creation of a numeric key as a "symbolic link" towards your string key ... Good luck !
