note 87060 added to function.array-search

If you exit the function whith "return", there is no need to break ;) i would write it like this: <?php function array_search_recursive($needle, $haystack, $path=array()) { foreach($haystack as $id => $val) { $path2=$path; $path2[] = $id; if($val === $needle) return $path2; else if(is_array($val)) if($ret = array_search_recursive($needle, $val, $path2)) return $ret; } return false; } $array = array( "a" => array( "b" => array("c"), "d" => array("e"), ), "f" => array( "g", "h"), ); var_dump(array_search_recursive("e", $array)); ?> var dump prints a array: (a, d, 0) ---- Server IP: 192.35.244.50 Probable Submitter: 62.47.221.175 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87060 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87060/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87060/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87060/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87060/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87060/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87060/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87060 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87060 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
