I was inspired by zspencer at zacharyspencer dot com into making my own set function, but I wanted it to return the value if found and false otherwise. I also based myself on his algorithm : <? $tab=array(); $tab['a']='lala'; $tab['b']='blabla'; $tab['c']='nono'; echo set($tab, 'b'); // outputs blabla echo next($tab); //outputs nono function set(&$tab, $key){ reset($tab); while ( ($key != key($tab)) && next($tab) ){} return current($tab); } /*The loop uses the fact that && only evaluates the second term if the first is true. Therefore, if the first key is the one we seek, the "next" command won't be evaluated. "next($tab)" also allows the loop to check every element while serving as an exit condition. (end($tab); next($tab); returns false)*/ ?> ---- Server IP: 195.221.21.36 Probable Submitter: 83.156.66.20 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71768 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71768/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71768/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71768/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71768/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71768/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71768/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71768 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71768 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
