I have a string array:

String[] array1 = new String[10];

Is there anyway I can use keys which are nto numbers?

array["keyhere"] instead of array1[1]

anyone know how?

PHP arrays are called associative arrays. You can use either a Dictionary or HashMap to implement the same thing in C#.

Use a dictionary

Dictionary<String,Object> phpArray = new Dictionary<String,Object>();
phpArray.Add("keyhere",1);
MessageBox.Show(phpArray["keyhere"]);

Use System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<TKey, TValue>.

For example:

Dictionary<string, string> myDictionary = new Dictionary<string, string>();

myDictionary.Add("key", "value");

string foo = myDictionary["key"];

Dictionary<TKey, TValue> has some methods that you might find useful, such as ContainsKey().
