note 36921 added to function.array-search

This is good for sorting database results - for example, if you need to know which column contains the largest value: $dimensions = mysql_fetch_assoc (mysql_query ("SELECT width, height FROM item WHERE item_id=$item_id")); $size = array_search (max ($dimensions), $dimensions); If the 'width' column contains the highest value, then $size contains the string 'width'. Substitute the max function for whatever you need to get the column name you're looking for. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36921 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36921&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36921&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
