Do you mean concatenate all the values into one single "flat" variable. Or do you mean to make a subset array of the values between your two points you found? First, check out array_slice. Second, look at join <?php $myarray = array( '0'=>'me', '1'=>'you', '2'=>'her', '3'=>'him', '4'=>'them', '5'=>'us', ); $s_pos = array_search('you', $myarray); $f_pos = array_search('them', $myarray); # Calculate the length, it is needed by array_slice() $length = ($f_pos - $s_pos); $subset_array = array_slice($myarray, $s_pos, $length); print_r($subset_array); $all_values = join(', ', $subset_array); echo $all_values; ?> Obviously, you need to add in some error checking. But that should get you started. -- Jim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
