Note Submitter: szikra dot istvan at freemail dot hu ---- I had to fix Ganpat Thakur version because it was bugging me. Here's my function to deep search for keys: <?php function array_get_key_val($key, $heystack) { // if (is_array($heystack)) foreach ($heystack as $k => $v) { /// loop through the array if ($k == $key) return $v; /// found key, return with it if (is_array($v)) { /// search in sub-heystack $ret = array_get_key_val($key, $v); if ($ret) return $ret; /// found, return } /// not found, continue searching } return false; /// sorry searched everywhere :( :) } /// test $b=array("a"=>array(), "b"=>2); ?>
