Don't feel bad. My job title is "Senior PHP Developer", I use it full
time, and have been working with it for 5 years, and I still didn't know
where to find it. So, it's definitely not just you :)

You and me both.

Going back to a quick datatypes discussion:

All 'arrays' in PHP are 'hash'es in perl. They can have either named or
numbered keys, or both:
 $array = array();
 $array[] = "A";
 $array['foo'] = "b";
 print_r($array);

results in:

 Array( 
  0 => "A",
  "foo" => "b"
 );

You can also have arrays inside arrays, as above:
$vars['sitename'] is an array/hash, with ['v'] as a key.
