This is the problem. You haven't actually written php, you only claim to 
have written php, and the interpreter isn't being fooled by the claim.

Why you're pissing about setting sequential associative indexes on the 
array elements I have no idea, but I'm sure it makes sense on 
planetRichard.

Likewise, I'm sure there is a very good reason indeed for storing 
integers as strings.

If you want to generate your playlist in a random order (which is where I 
suspect this is going) then I would use the following:

(a) Set the array up as follows:

$playme = array(
  array(1960,1,"title","artist","file"),
  array(1960,1,"title","artist","file"),
  array(1960,1,"title","artist","file")
);

_^_ By the way, this semi-colon is *NOT* *OPTIONAL*

then:

shuffle($playme);

foreach($playme as $a)
  echo "{$a[2]} by {$a[3]}, number {$a[1]} in {$a[0]}, {$a[4]}\n";

Here's an amazing fact about PHP:

The elements of an array do not have to all be of the same type!
