Hi,

i have an associative array and i want to use it as an
ordinary array, is that possible?

what i mean is instead of $arr['fruit'] i want to call
it by its position in the array $arr[3]

Did you try?

array_values() will throw out the keys and replace them with numeric indices.

Anyway, in PHP there is no difference between an "associative array" or an "ordinary array", they're both the same thing. Only one has integers as keys while the other has strings...
