Thanks for the replies.

The code i posted was typed from memory and being a javascript bod i
didn't get the syntax correct, but in the code i'm debugging i did use
isset() and the array wasn't being reset within the loop.

I had previously done a simple test which produced no errors:

<?php

$i=array();

$i['myName']='this is ok';

$i['afile.nam']='is this ok?';

print_r($i);

?>

So was hoping that the dot was ok which is now confirmed.

I shall look elsewhere for the bug....

Martin.
