cool function
hey, ive just been developing my site, and ive made a handy function which is good for displaying all the names/values of a array.

PHP Code:
function ShowArray($array)
        {
        
            foreach($array as $key=>$value)
                {
                
                    if(is_array($value))
                        {
                            echo "<blockquote><strong>$key</strong><br>";
                            ShowArray($value);
                            echo '</blockquote>';                        
                        }
                    else
                        {
                        
                            echo "<strong>$key</strong>: $value<br>\n";
                        
                        }
                
                }
        
        } 


Call the function with the supected array file, it will repeat itsself for multi dimentional arrays so you could call it like

ShowArray($_POST);


this would show all the submitted values from the previous page.

I meant to answer that in my other reply when you first asked it.....
The signature is a corporate project that is currently being commissioned by our company. As the site address says, it is geared towards the xul community, gecko technology, xpcom, xpconnect, idl, etc., etc., etc.. The project itself is in early development stages and is slated to launch in January, 2003. Running a little bit behind right now as we are also working on a local government project that we just picked up with little turnaround time, but as soon as this is out of the way, we will be back in full on the xul developer project. I myself has not alot to do with the project in general, the shots are being called by my ADT and content providers, both individual and corporate. I am what you would call the paperwork guy.....
