Notwithstanding that, I think your question was a good one -- it seems to me that the use of a nested array is unnecessary complex for this application; if we go with your simplified simple array: > > > > $rates = array('7.45'=>20, > > '8.45'=>35, > > '9.45'=>55, > > '10.45'=>80, > > '11.45'=>100, > > '13.45'=>150, > > '15.55'=>200, > > '19.45'=>999999999); then the foraech can surely be written very simply like this: foreach($rates as $i => $vals) { if($num <= $vals) { $price = $i; break; } } return $price; Cheers!
