Note Submitter: mjwilco at yahoo dot com ---- array_search() must match the whole value, not just a portion. To search for a portion, use: <?php $myarray = array("some apples", "some bannanas", "some oranges"); function array_search_bit($search, $array_in) { foreach ($array_in as $key => $value) { if (strpos($value, $search) !== FALSE) return $key; } return FALSE; } $searchkey = array_search("oranges", $myarray); //old function, returns FALSE $searchkey = array_search_bit("oranges", $myarray); //new function, returns 2 ?>
