Thanks, I know that, but I don't want to type out assignments manually, as
my list of my form values will grow. However, I solved very simply like
this:
$form_val_list =
"firstname,lastname,address,address2,city,state,zip,phone,email,resume";
$form_arr = explode (",", $form_val_list);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($form_arr))
{
$new_arr[ $val] = "some test value";
}
