I need to search an array for a string, with a twist. E.g.: $array = array(0 => 'this sky is blue', 1 => 'pencils are orange', 2 => 'I like green apples', 3 => 'strawberries are red'); $key = array_search('green', $array); With the above code, nothing will be returned, but I would like it to return 2 for the key containing "green". Any suggestions? ...René
