note 77863 added to function.array-search

There is probably a much more efficient way to do this, handle an unlimited depth but while supporting single declensions arrays. <?php function array_search_recursive ($needle, $haystack, $strict = false, $depth = 0) { $tmp = array_search($needle, $haystack, $strict); if ($tmp !== false) { return array($depth => $tmp); } foreach ($haystack as $key => $value) { if (is_array($value)) { $tmp = array_search_recursive($needle, $value, $strict, ++$depth); if ($tmp !== false) { return array_merge(array($depth =>$key), $tmp); } } } return false; } $a = array( 'image/gif' => 'gif', 'image/jpeg' => array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'jpe', 'more' => array('n', 'm', 'x', 'find me')), 'image/png' => 'png' ); var_dump(array_search_recursive('find me', $a)); ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 76.171.101.17 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77863 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77863/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77863/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77863/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77863/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77863/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77863/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77863 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77863 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
