note 47579 added to function.array-search

This is a modified version of Mark Meves's wonderful function. I needed something that would be able to let me force search the key name where the needle should be found. <?php function array_search_recursive($needle, $haystack, $key_lookin="") { $path = NULL; if (!empty($key_lookin) && array_key_exists($key_lookin, $haystack) && $needle === $haystack[$key_lookin]) { $path[] = $key_lookin; } else { foreach($haystack as $key => $val) { if (is_scalar($val) && $val === $needle && empty($key_lookin)) { $path[] = $key; break; } elseif (is_array($val) && $path = array_search_recursive($needle, $val, $key_lookin)) { array_unshift($path, $key); break; } } } return $path; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47579 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47579&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47579&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47579&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47579&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47579&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47579&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47579&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
