If I have:

how do I get the string one back from $ar

Answer 1

You might do it this way:

function asoccArrayValueWithNumKey(&$arr, $key) {
   if (!(count($arr) > $key)) return false;
   reset($array);
   $aux   = -1;
   $found = false;
   while (($auxKey = key($array)) && !$found) {
      $aux++;
      $found = ($aux == $key);
   }
   if ($found) return $array[$auxKey];
   else return false;
}

$val = asoccArrayValueWithNumKey($array, 0);
$val = asoccArrayValueWithNumKey($array, 1);
etc...

Haven't tryed the code, but i'm pretty sure it will work.

Good luck!
