hi,

thanks for your reply.

i have figured out, well kind of, and got the data i need but the problem is 
its nested within to many arrays!

Array ( 
        [threads & form types] => 
                Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => imperial thread form [id] => 
28 [page_cat_id] => 9 [main_nav] => true ) [1] => Array ( [name] => metric iso 
threads [id] => 29 [page_cat_id] => 9 [main_nav] => true ) ) 
        [material range] => 
                Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => super duplex stainless steels 
[id] => 30 [page_cat_id] => 10 [main_nav] => true ) [1] => Array ( [name] => 
standard stainless steels [id] => 31 [page_cat_id] => 10 [main_nav] => true ) 
[2] => Array ( [name] => non ferrous [id] => 32 [page_cat_id] => 10 [main_nav] 
=> true ) [3] => Array (       [name] => carbon based steels [id] => 33 
[page_cat_id] => 10 [main_nav] => true ) ) 
) 

how can i get this just do its a $k => $v pair,

the key as it is [threads & form types] && [material range], and the value, the 
single array [Array ( [name] => imperial thread form [id] => 28 [page_cat_id] 
=> 9 [main_nav] => true ) [1] => Array ( [name] => metric iso threads [id] => 
29 [page_cat_id] => 9 [main_nav] => true )] ?

hope this makes sense

Adam
