Paul, How are you matching the records in the "event count" array to the ones in the timestamp array? Is it safe to say that: "$timestamp[ $i ]" corresponds to "$eventCount[ $i ]"? If so, you could just iterate through the timestamp array; on each iteration create a record in a new array that holds the timestamp and whatever the corresponding eventCount record is. Something like: -------------------------------- $newTimeArray = array(); foreach ($timestamps as $i => $singleTimestamp) { $newTimeArray[ $i ] = array( 'timestamp' => $singleTimestamp, 'count' => $eventCounts[ $i ] ); } -------------------------------- Now if "$timestamp[ $i ]" does NOT correspond to "$eventCount[ $i ]" then I think we'll need you to explain how that relationship works, unless I missed something :) Chris.
