texte = Hi Lawrence, There are some developers that have made good use of arrays that I know of.. but I don't personally put it to use that often. In WebDNA (so far at least) the "key's" for the array are a path. This is perhaps more limiting than, say, PHP, where keys can be a string or other value types.. creating more of a map. Of course, the good news is that WebDNA is not based around arrays, like PHP ;-).. we have much more useful tools like formvariables, table, etc.. to store / retrieve / move data. However, one could make use WebDNA arrays.. perhaps especially if the key path was accessible. For example, lets say you had your meals planned out for the entire year ;-), and this info was in a 2 dimensional array called "meal". [text multi=T]mJanuary=1&mFebruary=2&mMarch=3&mApril=4.. etc.. to 12[/text] [!] day is simply the number [dd] [/!] My Meal for March 20th is: [meal([mMarch],20)] I haven't personally tested the access speed of an array, but historically, the claim is that it is a faster data access than the other methods of getting to data in WebDNA. So, logically, I would say that it's benefit is in situations where there is a static data set that needs to perform well with access under load.
