I'm not willing to answer newbie questions on regular basis, but that 
has nothing to do with anything - I was unwilling to do it with any 
syntax. I just think inability of the users to comprehend a concept such 
complicated as two brackets put around the array is grossly exaggerated. 
   If you figured out how to use <? ?>, you can figure out how to use [] ;)
