Re: array_search() with preg_match?

René, This may not the most efficient method, but works: $array = array('this sky is blue', 'pencils are orange', 'I like green apples','strawberries are red'); $search = 'green'; $result = array(); foreach($array as $key1=>$value1) { if(substr_count($value1, $search)) {

     $result[] = $key1;

} } // $result is an array containing all the keys for the values that contained the search phrase print_r($result); // or convert to string print implode(' ', $result); // or however else to need to handle the results --Bob René Fournier wrote:

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
