Re: trouble with array_search

I printed the values out, and inserted it into a varibble to check if it finds it. In this case it works! But it only wokes if I do it like this: array('03042003'); This does not work: array(03042003); So I gues it has something to do with this? It really drives me crecy, I already spent an hour on it :-( Merlin Catalin Trifu wrote:

    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
