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.

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.

Thank you Sirs, I was echoing the viz-ip so I know it was getting set but I couldn't get it. both work .. I got the clue from John, the last echo line did the trick.

This worked for me (with my IP address for 'John'):

"84.196.101.86"=>"John",

function _array_search ($viz_ip, $byte_ip) {

Hello All,
I've been trying for days now to make this work.
I'm trying to search my array for a value and return the key.
I get the visitor's IP and try this -- this is the latest,
I've tried a few functions to echo the name associated with the viz_ip.
$viz_ip= $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$byte_ip= array(
"204.126.202.56"=>"Mark",
"63.230.76.166"=>"Bob",
"63.220.76.165"=>"John",
);
function _array_search ($viz_ip, $byte_ip) {
foreach($byte_ip as $key => $val) {
if ($viz_ip === $key) {
return($val);
}
}
return(False);
}
try:
function getValueInArr($val, $arr)
{
$val = (string)$val;
return is_array($arr) && isset($arr[$val]) ? $arr[$val]: false;
}
but maybe the $viz_ip really _isn't_ set in the array you have?
I'm no wiz but this shouldn't be this hard, maybe I'm thinking wrong.
I've read the examples at php.net but I just can't get it. Some help
or even a hint ?

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
What about going the other way? Say I have a sentence...
"Hi, my name is Bob."
...and I want to search the sentence for one of the values (people) in the
array...
$people = array("Jim","John","JP","Bob");
Can this be done?
Thanks,
Joseph

yes, in_array($person, $people)!
however, you may take a look into the manual.

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

Philip Olson
