note 53489 deleted from function.array-search by felipe

Note Submitter: "info" at jake the spud dot com ---- If you don't need the power of recursive functions, and you want to just search within an array for the existence of a string pattern, you can always try this: if( strpos( implode( "", $array2search), "pattern" ) > -1 ) { // code to execute here } It's kind of lame and childish, but gets the job done in a pinch. Forgive me if someone else suggested this previously. I was racking my brain trying to do this using array_search(), in_array() and the like, and all I wanted was something dead simple.
