Hi,

I usually create a second numerically indexed array that has as elements 
the key names. The numerical keys correspond to each other so that I only 
need a while loop and a counter to access each element of the source arrays 
that I then stick together as key/element pairs in a resulting array. I do 
not know the exact circumstance, but I needed to get two things out of a 
database that were related to each other and that had to be of the same 
count by design. Worked great, but today I'd use SQL and a join for this, 
which works even better.
