Unless the OP is uber-PHP-expert, you've probably just made some bad Design decisions along that way, and painted yourself into a corner because of them. Rather than write some hack function to find the element after the element of an index you know, figure out where you went wrong back when, and start over from there... If you're playing adventure, and about to die a horrible death, maybe the mistake was NOT the LAST move you made, but a little before that, no? :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
