note 108783 added to function.array-search

I have just tried to add the function of recursive Array Search in order to return all finding keys in an array instead of the first matching result index, and further expanded search to contain needle instead of exactly matching: function recursiveArraySearchAll($haystack, $needle, $index = null) { $aIt = new RecursiveArrayIterator($haystack); $it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($aIt); $resultkeys; while($it->valid()) { if (((isset($index) AND ($it->key() == $index)) OR (!isset($index))) AND (strpos($it->current(), $needle)!==false)) { //$it->current() == $needle $resultkeys[]=$aIt->key(); //return $aIt->key(); } $it->next(); } return $resultkeys; // return all finding in an array } ; To use the function on your array search: print_r(recursiveArraySearchAll($your-array,'your-needle-to match','your-array-index-to-search') ); Simple! and Enjoy! ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 118.93.149.130 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/108783 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108783/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108783/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108783/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108783/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108783/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108783/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108783 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/108783 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
