Don't be a 'tard... Just because someone doesn't explicitly state they didn't read the manual entry first don't assume they didn't because you know what they say about assume. So to make a troll happy, here's exactly what it does with one array given as an argument: "If only one array is given and the array is numerically indexed, the keys get reindexed in a continuous way." Wow... Oddly enough that sounds exactly like what he wanted, and hence my suggesting it to him. JM> you think??? Now.. On to the part where the "I think" applies.. Since they do not give an example of a single array being used as an argument, I had to rely on memory from when I needed to do that nearly four months ago. I know I used array_merge(), but I didn't remember if I had to assign it to a variable or not. JM> hit the manual: http://www.php.net/array_merge (thats 30 chars to JM> type in the addressbar of your favorite browser and then you'd be JM> sure) No duh.... and if you're using Firefox, you can even do something really weird like give the php.net website a keyword (oh, "php" seems to work nicely), and set your location to "http://www.php.net/%s"; and amazingly enough you can just type in "php array_merge" and automagically it takes you right there. That's only 15 chars... Much more efficient than your suggestion.

His array is numerically indexed. It does exactly what he wants.
