So what I want to do is store php objects in couch.

=20

So=20

=20

Json_encode an object that may be a multi-dimensional array and store it
and the view it.=20

=20

The stored data would look something like this.=20

=20

{

                "url": "(a url)",

                "status": [{ "somename":

                                                {

"var1": "mystate",

                                                "var2":"mystate2"

}

}]

}

=20

So how then do map this?

=20

function(doc) {

                emit([doc.url, doc.status, doc.status.(use the first
nameas a key without explicity defining it (ex. somename) ) ], doc);

  }

}

=20

Maybe use an if(doc.status.(first value) =3D=3D "somename") to limit the
set?

=20

How do you create views on lists like this that contain associative
arrays with arbitrary data? And how do you then access the children
(var1, var2).=20

=20

Can couch not handle a document like this that is valid json but isn't
flat?=20

=20

Or can it handle it and I have to somehow nest views to map the sub
arrays?

=20

Thanks for any help.
