note 96866 deleted from function.array-search by levim

Note Submitter: kim at steinhaug dot com ---- I was looking around for a recursive search by keys in multidimensional arrays. After testing the ones in this thread seems noone accually works. So I put this one together, and it does what you expect it to do. You need to find the value for the key "han-solo". <?php if( ($val = array_search_key('han-solo',$array)) !== false){ var_dump($val); } else { // No keys with the name "han-solo" } function array_search_key( $needle_key, $array ) { foreach($array AS $key=>$value){ if($key == $needle_key) return $value; if(is_array($value)){ if( ($result = array_search_key($needle_key,$value)) !== false) return $result; } } return false; } ?>
