Hai Brain,
I don't _think_ this is a bug (note: think). I haven't taken a very
good look at your code, but as I understand you believe that:
foreach ($data as $key)
delivers the same $key as in:
foreach ($data as $key=>$value)
Well... it doesn't. Check the manual on it. If you use the
foreach ($x as $y) construction, $y is the value... not the key.
Take a look at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php
<Quote from PHP manual>
foreach(array_expression as $value)
foreach(array_expression as $key => $value)
</Quote from PHP manual>
I think this solves your problem...
