# Return array from wp_get_archives()

 * For get_categories() and wp_get_all_tags() I am returning an array passing that
   array to a function that creates columns.
 * I really need to keep with the same layout with wp_get_archives(). I want to 
   display archives (per month) in a column format.
 * wp_get_archives() doesn’t seem to offer a way to return results as an array. 
   So that is my question, is there a way to make that happen? Many thanks!

       <?php
       $archi = wp_get_archives( 'echo=0' );
       $archi = explode( '</li>' , $archi );
       $links = array();
       foreach( $archi as $link ) {
       	$link = str_replace( array( '<li>' , "\n" , "\t" , "\s" ), '' , $link );
       	if( '' != $link )
       		$links[] = $link;
       	else
       		continue;
       }
       print '<pre>';
       print_r( $links );
       print '</pre>';
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Printing at the end is to show you the array, do as you will..
