Need Help??

I have another reason for not using an "s": I generally write

    $x = $item[3];
[download]

because

    $x = $items[3];
[download]

doesn't make any sense.

`$x = $items[3];` $x is the third element of this collection of items. No problem. Except my off by one error. ;) Really, in my mind, as I'm typing `$items`, I'm thinkink that this is a collection of items, but now I only want this `[3]` particular one. So keeping the "s" makes sense. YMMV	[reply] [d/l] [select]
