nested associative arrays

[bill]

The IMAP_headers function returns an associative array.
for example:
$head = imap_header($in , ($index+1));
echo " <br />header:subject :" . $head->subject;

works fine,
but $head->from returns an array
[0]
[personal]
[adl]
[mailbox]
[host]

what is the cleanest way of accessing the internally nested
stuff, personal, mailbox, host ?

I can do it in multiple lines of code, but I am sure there is a
proper syntax to get each in one line.

a ref to a tutorial on arrays would be appreciated, the php.net
array page is just an index to the functions.

thanks,

bill

Thank you.
What was confusing me was that the array had as it's only element
an object. Now all is well.
