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;
}
?>
