I tend to use associative arrays quite a lot, to keep values as couples : the key, which is often unique, and a value, which may be anything else. This permits the handling of values by group : values from a MySQL row with their respective column name, liste of club members and their subscription date, a web URL and it's read date, a username and its full description.
