[RE] array_search

Hello, you mixed array_search(...) with in_array(...). <manual> mixed array_search (mixed needle, array haystack, bool strict) Searches haystack for needle and returns the key if it is found in the array, FALSE otherwise. </manual> Therefore, in the 1st example it returns 0 and it was converted to FALSE by PHP, so you didn't get the expected result. You should test if there is any match in the array: if(($key = array_search("val1",$myarray)) !== false) { print "Value found at :". $key; } "Steen Rabol" <srj@jdpartner.dk> wrote in message news:9gpgpc$vqg$1@w153.z064000151.sjc-ca.dsl.cnc.net... > Hi > > How to figure out of a value is found using array_search ? > > eg: > > $myarray = array("val1","val2","val3"); > if(array_search("val2",$myarray)) > { > print "Value found"; > } > > the above will work, but... > > if(array_search("val1",$myarray)) > { > print "Value found"; > } > > the above will not work as "val1" is key 0, how can I solve this ? > > Thanks in advance > > Steen > > > Papp Gyozo - pgerzson@freestart.hu
