Just a quick note: array_search finds sub strings in your arrays values i.e "sports" in "sports_template", which isn't always desirable. Here's a quick and dirty direct match function to solve this that I find useful :: <? function array_search_match($needle, $haystack){ $rkey = NULL; foreach($haystack as $key => $array){ foreach($array as $value){ if($value==$needle){ $rkey = $key; } } } return $rkey; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36110 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36110&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36110&report=yes
