wops, thnx for catching that... i thought it would set the skillnames as the key, not as a value...
i'm not sure why, but i was trying to echo $match['$key'].':'.$match['$value'].'<br />'; at first...
i think i set them like that for place holders at first....then changed them to the place int for the array, when i got an error...
idk oh well.... it works now...

now i just have to figure out how to turn a... 150 row, 16+ column html table into an array, then i'm golden on this script
