Cool thanks, that probably will make my code execute a decent bit faster (as
the file gets larger).
But the array_search function never works for me (don't know why, I know
exactly what I'm searching for and that it is there), so I made my own
function..
//Find and return first occurance of a string ("$Find") in any line of
$LineArray
function FindKey($LineArray, $Find)
{
foreach($LineArray as $key => $value)
{
if (ereg($Find, $value))
return $key;
}
return FALSE;
} // END OF FindKey(...);
I think this combined with your code should help me a lot, thanks a ton.
