sorry, I've been writing javascript, and also didn't check the validity of
the array_search function ... this works (and is simpler anyway)
<?php
function ArrayCompare($array1, $array2)
{ $answer = Array(); // sorry about the js creeping in here
foreach ($array1 as $key=>$element)
{ if (in_array($element, $array2))
{ $answer[$key] = $element;
}
}
return $answer;
}
?>
