I needed a function that searches for the key in the array and not for the value. I wanted to be able to search for keys in a multidimensional array so i made the function recursive: function getElementvalue($array,$element) { global $return; while(list($key,$val) = each($array)) { if (is_array($val)) getElementvalue($val,$element); else if (trim($key)==$element) $return = trim($val); } return $return; } //Usage: $var will get the value of key "KeyToLookFor" $var = getElementvalue($array,"KeyToLookFor") -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28219 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28219 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28219
