Re: Array question

Try: $fruit = array('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => 'cranberry'); $search = 'apple'; foreach($fruit as $key => $val) { if ($val == $search) {

    echo "$search found: array key is $key, value is $val";

} } 2007/2/27, Gerry D <gdanen.spam@gmail.com>:

I have a question on how to retrieve the value that corresponds to a key in an array. $fruit = array('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => 'cranberry');

                $key = array_search($c, $fruit);
                if ( $key === FALSE )
                        $n = $c;
                else
                {
                        $n = $fruit[$key];  // how to get the value???
                }

the array_search works ok, but how do I get the value? all I get back is 'a' or 'b', not 'apple' or 'banana'... TIA Gerry -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
