    Hi,
You don't have to convert to string; PHP does it automatically. Did you check for the $dates array, does it really contain what you think it should. So, try to make a print_r($dates) and see if you have what you expect. FYI: array_search() returns the key of the last found element (if any) Cheers, Catalin
Hi there, I am having somee trouble with array_search. The function should search for a given date, but it does not work since array_search seems only to compare strings. Thats why I tryed to cast it, but does not help. Here is the problem: (pseudo code) while(...
    $log[date][]     = (string)date('mdY',$row->timestamp)
$date_search = '03042003'; $search = array_search($date_search, $dates); if ($search !== NULL)
    echo 'works';   
it always returns 0 Thanx for any help on that, Merlin
