RE: Array Search Not Working?

This is what I mean by the fact that my array_search does not work, and all I am trying to do is to find the index, so I can do stateColors[$index] later on and color my map. Have I done something wrong here that causes the code you provided not to spit out anything here? This is what I have: $from = explode("-", $from); $state_colors= explode("-", $state_colors); $change = explode("-",$change); $new_array = array_combine($from,$change); asort($new_array); foreach ($new_array as $key => $value) echo $key . " is " . $value . " miles away<br />"; Thanks.
