@lyba:
I assumed that you are not skilled in developing at all!
Usually only a newby would make the mistake to use the same array key
in the same array
'OR'=> array('title'=>null, 'title'=>$TitleArray)
thats why I assumed it would be better for you NOT to use non-
determinant values
(in order to avoid above issues) and thats why i pointed that out.
but it seems you do know a little bit about that matter. so i
apologize.
so for your original topic:
use arrays inside arrays to use the same array key more than once and
it is supposed to work as well
always under the assumption that you are skilled enough to handle the
NULL cases and its required "special" treatment at some point.
and NO - its not needed at all. its possible. thats what i said. it is
possible to use it.
but if it can be avoided it should be avoided.
if you have a long story behind it, so be it. you dont have to justify
it. you dont have to believe me :)
but others should not blindly follow you in a possible trap. so in the
end the rest of this topic is not so much for you but to help others.
