Re: array search

just to add some info. rememember this is case sensitive and spaces do matter, sometimes (depending on your goals) the following will apply : $good_names = array('jim','philip','sasheen'); $my_name = 'PHiliP'; if (in_array(trim(strtolower($my_name)),$good_names)) and, another good function is array_keys and array_search. see : http://www.php.net/array regards, Philip Olson On Fri, 31 Aug 2001, Andrey Hristov wrote: > from http://php.net/quickref.php > > $os = array ("Mac", "NT", "Irix", "Linux"); > if (in_array ("Irix", $os)){ > print "Got Irix"; > } > > Andrey HristovIcyGEN Corporationhttp://www.icygen.comBALANCED > SOLUTIONS > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Joseph Bannon" <JBannon@advparadigm.com> > To: "PHP (E-mail)" <php-general@lists.php.net> > Sent: Friday, August 31, 2001 6:40 PM > Subject: [PHP] array search > > > > I have an array of names, like below... > > > > $people = array("Jim","John","JP"); > > > > Is there a way in an IF statement to see if someone's name is in the array? > > Like... > > > > if ($people =~ $person) { } > > > > I don't want to have to create a foreach loop to go through the array to see > > if that person is there. > > > > Joseph > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > > > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
