arrays: howto convert assoc to numeric

[Randell D.]

Folks,

If I have a numeric array similar to the following:

$tmpArray[0]="alpha";
$tmpArray[1]="beta";
$tmpArray[2]="charlie";

I can break it down like so

list($first,$second,$third)=$tmpArray;

This would mean $first="alpha", $second="beta" and $third="charlie"

However, when I have an associate array like so

$tmpArray["one"]="alpha";
$tmpArray["two"]="beta";
$tmpArray["three"]="charlie";

and do

list($first,$second,$third)=$tmpArray;

Then $first, $second, $third do not have values - Can someone give me an
environmentally friendly workaround to make this work? I can think of
explodes/implodes and a number of other methods, but I had believed I could
reference the first element in an associate array with a zero... and the
next with a numeric one, but that does not seem to be the case...

all help, via the newsgroup would be much appreciated, thanx

Hi Randell,

what about using array_values() to convert the array
into a an array with numeric indices?
