input array sorting automatically

[bigdoggy59]

This is the strangest thing I've ever seen...

 

Building an HTML form from a query I have:

   echo $nsn;
echo "<input type='hidden' name='NSN[$idx]' value='$nsn'/>";
echo "</td>\n"; 

 

Looking at the source in the browser I see:

<input type='hidden' name='NSN[0]' value='8465014652096'/>
<input type='hidden' name='NSN[1]' value='GSA-700'/> 

 

On the next page, a print_r($NSN) returns:

Array ( [0] => GSA-700 [1] => 8465014652096 ) 1

 

Note that the index numbers=>values have been re-ordered.  Why is this happening and how do I stop it?  None of the other arrays in the app are doing this, only this one.

 

Thanks

<?php
foreach($NSN as $key => $val)
{
echo '<input type="hidden" name="NSN['.$key.']" value="'.$val.'" />';
}
?>
