You should benchmark the solutions and also consider just using implode() on the array to make a giant string and search that. Depending on a lot of factors, any of these could out-perform the others. Try it with data as close to real-world as you can get. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
