Appearently, the array_search function, has a bug i found. It will not return the first array position! (exemple below) $array = array(); array_push($array,'bob'); array_push($array,'pete'); array_push($array,'andy'); array_push($array,'jib'); if (array_search('pete', $array) != Null) echo 'found'; else echo 'not found'; // returns "found" if (array_search('bob', $array) != Null) echo 'found'; else echo 'not found'; // returns "not found" !?! // this could be because of the array_push function, but it can be fixed with the following: $array = array(0 => 'not relevant'); array_push($array,'bob'); array_push($array,'pete'); array_push($array,'andy'); array_push($array,'jib'); if (array_search('bob', $array) != Null) echo 'found'; else echo 'not found'; // returns "found" ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.120 Probable Submitter: 82.92.27.234 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71293 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71293/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71293/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71293/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71293/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71293/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71293/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71293 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71293 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
