note 84105 added to function.in-array

Improved (in readability, anyhow) multi-array search: <? // Function for looking for a value in a multi-dimensional array function in_multi_array($value, $array) { foreach ($array as $key => $item) { // Item is not an array if (!is_array($item)) { // Is this item our value? if ($item == $value) return true; } // Item is an array else { // See if the array name matches our value //if ($key == $value) return true; // See if this array matches our value if (in_array($value, $item)) return true; // Search this array else if (in_multi_array($value, $item)) return true; } } // Couldn't find the value in array return false; } ?> If you want the function to also match keys (such as if you are searching for an array called 'apple' inside of an array), uncomment this line: <? //if ($key == $value) return true; ?> ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 70.179.13.145 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84105 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84105/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84105/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84105/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84105/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84105/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84105/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84105 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84105 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
