RE: [PHP] Array Search Problem
Hi, At the time when I am writing this, looks like I already got the functions I needed. It turned out that I had to use some array_combine, sorting the items by keys instead of values as well as using array_keys to get the values I needed. Thanks for pointing me towards the right direction.

Re: [PHP] Array Search Problem
(almost) all the tricks are in the comments of the help page for a function, on php.net but all functions accept only a given (and usually documented) set of parameter(type)s, so you'll probably have to prepare the var, or even call the function in a loop, outputting to yet another descriptively named array that'll be used as "wanted list" later in the code.

RE: [PHP] Array Search Problem
> > did you read the help for those functions on php.net? Yes, I found a "recursive" way to find out the "index" like I wanted, by doing something like $from = explode("-", $from); $state_colors= explode("-", $state_colors); $change = explode("-",$change); $count = count($new_array); $i=0; foreach ($new_array as $key => $value){ echo $i . " " . $key . " is " . $value . " miles away"; $i++; } You can see it is not very elegant, and plus, I created the $new_array so I could do the ordering according to the values of the change array. I can tell that since this is not a single array, which is probably why array_search does not work. Since I don't need the "value" of my "new_array" here, I am still finding out how to "strip off" the values here without having to flatten my array. Is what I am trying to do here possible? Or, is there a trick in array_search that I could use to find the index without having to strip off anything? Thanks for your help.

Yes, split the sentence into parts of the array (use split or explode), then all you have to do is walk through $people with foreach askink if that word is in, for example $word that is the array that you got after the split (or explode).

RE: [PHP] array search
Joseph, The below postings are what you're looking for. Hopefully the in_array PHP function uses a smart search algorithm and doesn't go through the entire array. If you store your values in a db you can make use of an index on the column, or you could write your own search algorithm that uses a btree or some other type of search methodology.

Re: [PHP] array search
just to add some info. rememember this is case sensitive and spaces do matter, sometimes (depending on your goals) the following will apply : $good_names = array('jim','philip','sasheen'); $my_name= 'PHiliP'; if (in_array(trim(strtolower($my_name)),$good_names)) and, another good function is array_keys and array_search. see : http://www.php.net/array regards, Philip Olson On Fri, 31 Aug 2001, Andrey Hristov wrote: > from http://php.net/quickref.php > > $os = array ("Mac", "NT", "Irix", "Linux"); > if (in_array ("Irix", $os)){ > print "Got Irix"; > } > > Andrey HristovIcyGEN Corporationhttp://www.icygen.comBALANCED SOLUTIONS > - Original Message - > From: "Joseph Bannon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "PHP (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, August 31, 2001 6:40 PM > Subject: [PHP] array search > > > > I have an array of names, like below... > > > > $people = array("Jim","John","JP"); > > > > Is there a way in an IF statement to see if someone's name is in the array? > > Like... > > > > if ($people =~ $person) { } > > > > I don't want to have to create a foreach loop to go through the array to see > > if that person is there. > > > > Joseph > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
