can't recall what it was exactly, but I believe it was a case where I
didn't know the key of the array, nor the value, but knew the "place" in
the array.
Can't exactly remember what it was... I am now thinking that what I'm
saying in my last line can be done easily by using array_values and
using a numeric key....

But... as I said, I can't recall what it was. In the end I simply
rewrote whatever it was to use a more efficient way of handling things
