What the next record? Try:

    $array = array('0','1','3','5','8','15','25');
    $val = "5";

    echo($array[array_search($val, $array)+1]);

Cheers, tedd

Not quite: $array = array('0','1','3','5','8','15','25'); $val = "25"; echo($array[array_search($val, $array)+1]); Notice: Undefined offset: 7 ... brian

Duh? You program for that -- you want me to write the entire code?

~sigh~ Grasshopper, the point i was trying to make is that your example displays what *not* to do with array_search(). Though a wonderful teaching aid in itself, it falls somewhat short of being a reasonable solution for the OP. brian

~sigh~ Sorry to disappoint you master. But I was using array_search() to search an array -- it seemed like a reasonable thing to do. So why do you say it's an example of what *not* to do with array_search()? Please be specific. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
