[PHP] Re: trouble with array_search

[Merlin]

I printed the values out, and inserted it into a varibble to check if it 
finds it. In this case it works! But it only wokes if I do it like this:

array('03042003');

This does not work:
array(03042003);
So I gues it has something to do with this? It really drives me crecy, I 
already spent an hour on it :-(

    Hi,

  You don't have to convert to string; PHP does it
automatically.
  Did you check for the $dates array, does it really contain
what you think it should.
  So, try to make a print_r($dates) and see if you have what you expect.
  FYI: array_search() returns the key of the last found element
(if any)

Hi there,

I am having somee trouble with array_search.

The function should search for a given date, but it does not work 
since array_search seems only to compare strings. Thats why I tryed to 
cast it, but does not help.

Here is the problem:

(pseudo code)

while(...
    $log[date][]     = (string)date('mdY',$row->timestamp)
$date_search = '03042003';

$search = array_search($date_search, $dates);
if ($search !== NULL)
    echo 'works';  

it always returns 0

Thanx for any help on that,

Merlin
