Searching Arrays With Arrays
ive looked through alot of the array search functions and i dont think any of them support arrays as the "needle" to search for.
so say i had a numeric array, $array1 with say 5 elements, 0-4, each element is a single word, lowercase.
say i had another numeric array structured the same way called $array2 with say about 5 elements, 0-4. Is there a function which i could use or does anyone know of an easy way to search every element in $array1 and compair it through each of the elements of $array2? and if a duplicate is found in $array2 have that element be removed or unset? im sure this can be done probably easy with some kind of loop function, but thats my weak point right now in php and im working on it.

Searching Arrays Values
I have an exploded array, what I need to do is search for the key(s) which contain my search criteria. So basically, array_search but I don't want to put in the entire value of a key, just part of it. so if an array was: 0=> test1 is awesome 1=> test2 is better 2=> test3 is best I want to search for "best" and get 2 returned. Searching for "awe" should return 0 etc. Is there a function that just searches an entire array for a searchstring? Or do I need to get a loop happening and search each array key individually.

Searching Two Arrays Fully And Comparing
I'm trying to find matching pages by searching two arrays against each other. The arrays get the keywords from the current page and others stored in a database. I'm not very good with PHP but what I'm doing at the moment is actually working, except it's only printing one found keyword when there are more. Code:

Arrays Within Arrays, How To Split
I have been stumped on this one and it is probably easier than I think it is, especially since my brain is fried. This is what my array looks like: array(7) { ["injuredPerson"]=> string(0) "" ["dates"]=> string(0) "" ["describe"]=> string(0) "" ["location"]=> string(0) "" ["type"]=> array(3) { [0]=> string(8) "abrasion" [1]=> string(10) "amputation" [2]=> string(12) "asphyxiation" } ["part"]=> string(0) "" ["times"]=> string(0) "" } This is actually an array of information from a form check. I have the error handling check the form and depending on if there is an error or not, the array gets populated with "" or an actual value(s). I am testing a checkbox area of the form (the name is type, so type can hold an array of values, thats why it currently contains abrasion, amputation, and asphyxiation). I have had no problem going through the array until I get to the area with an array within the array. Let me give you some code so you can see how I am doing this:

Add To Arrays
this is the situation. i am passing variable thru an input form to a function on the same page. within that function, it will determine if the checkboxes are checked, if it is checked, add that value to one array. if it is not checked, add to a different array. i do not know the line to add to an array. i am trying array_push but that is not working. array_fill will not work either (do not have php 4.20 installed)

Different Arrays, How To Tell Them Apart?
Is there a function or way to tell the difference between these two types of arrays: array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0); array(1=>"one", 2=>"two", 3=>"three", 4=>"four"); The is_array() function does not distinguish between the two as they are both arrays and is_array looks to see if its an array, so back to step 1. Anyways, is there a function or workaround to find this out??

PHP And Arrays?
How can one tell if a PHP array is a simple array or a hashed array (key/valye). The gettype returns "array", but is there a function that will tell me the type? Also, when you have a mixed array, some flat, some hashed, how can you tell the type of each element?

Using Arrays For Look-ups
Just a quick sanity check... Sometimes it's useful to use an array as a kind of reverse lookup. For example, the indexes being productIDs and the value being it's name. If I do something like this... $x = array(); $x[1] = 'foo' $x[345] = 'foo' $x[12345] = 'foo' .... PHP is intelligent enough only to allocate 3 data chunks for this right? As I type this, it seems far more obvious, but if someone could just confirm :-)

How To Use Arrays
I want to assign some values from a database into an array. I have two fields, id & name. When I am finding the values from the database, I would like to assign the id to an array and the name into another array. I can do this using the array_push() . How can I then print the array? I tried to just print the variable but it give me 'Array'. Maybe a loop? PHP Code:

More About Arrays
Is it possible to read a multi-dimensional array from a file? How would one represent a multi-dimensional array in a flat file? Is this possible? For example, I want to have 3 elements in the array, each of which is an array itself: Element 1 ARRAY (1-4) Element 2 ARRAY (1-120) Element 3 ARRAY (1-1460) I'd like to store this array in a delimitated flat file - all integers. 3|84|753|2|0|349|5|0| ... and so on perhaps I need 2 files? other options? (I know... get a database...)

Use Of + With Arrays
In a note on 31-Jul-2002 added to the unshift function the writer stated that array2=arrray1+array2 was equivalent to unshift(arrayw,list(array1)). My php seems to take strong objection to this [Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /var/www/html/GEM/etFlush/embryo_newFrozen.php on line 417]. Am I doing something wrong? Was the original poster on something? Is this a version problem?

XML Vs Arrays
i've been doing it for personal projects for a few years now, and have even done some extensive professional projects. I've been trying to expand my php abilities and finally decided to look into xml. I know what xml is, and how to format it. Unfortunately, I dont have quite the grasp on what xml is capable of or what, if any distinction it has from arrays. Basically, so far I have found nothing I can do with xml that I cant do with arrays. It could be because I'ms till learning xml but I have yet to see any advantages. So am I missing something, or is xml simply a way to handle what can sometimes be a very abstract comcept of array nesting?

Use Two Arrays

Multidimensional Arrays Appropriate For This?
I'm writing a class to obtain package tracking information for UPS. They provide a tool that will do this with xml. I submit a query in a specific format and it returns an xml document, which I then parse with some other functions. The response contains information on the package's location (city, state, zip) and its status (delivered, in transit) and the date & time of each entry. It is possible for one package to have an array of values for location, status, time & date because it is always moving. So, for example, I might get an array of 10 results that provide info about the shipment from start to finish. Currently, I'm storing each value (city, state, zip, delivered/in transit, time, date) in its own array. So, there's an array of 10 elements for city, another for state, and so on. I'm wondering if it's appropriate to have a single multidimensional array instead of one array for each piece of info. The columns would be each individual piece of information (city, state, zip, ....) and the rows can be the number of entries of each piece of information (in my example, 10). My array would then have 10 rows with the required number of columns, each showing the data for that entry. Is this a good solution, or should I stick with one array for each piece of information?

Checkboxes, Arrays And SQL
I am very new with PHP, so I hope someone can help me: With the help of JPJones, I've managed to write a basic search script querying a MySQL database. I would like my users to choose which fields they search from, eg search for "red" in field1, field2 and field7 only. I would use checkboxes for this, using [], eg: <input type="checkbox" id="field[]" value="field1">Field 1 I understand I would have to split the $field array (on the comma delimiter?) and then use it in my SQL statement. Would it be something like this? foreach($fieldarray as $key=>$value) { $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE $fieldarray[i] LIKE '%$searchword%'"; } I have no idea of the correct syntax.

Comparing Two Arrays
What i need to do is compare two arrays and return an array that only has those that are not in the main table.It's similar to what you could do with SQL. Array 1 - List of Everything Array 2 - List of Some of Array 1 What i want to obtain is Those of Array 1 that are not in Array 2. I would prefer not to do the following: function getUnique($array1, $array2) { foreach ($array1, $key => $value) { $array2_key = array_search($array2,$value) if ($array2_key === false) $result_array[] = $value; } return $result_array; } Is there any simplier way of doing this...any predefined function in php that could do this?

Working With Arrays
I have a database with users, with unique ID and what I want to do is create users with random IDs, there's a tool for user creationg where you specify the range of posible ids (comonly 1000:9999) and the number of users you want to create (comonly 20). So, I build an array having this key/velue pairs: 1000=>1000 1001=>1001 1002=>1002 ... and then I get all the ids in the database from 1000 to 9999 and I remove them from the array, so I should end having something like (suposing there's a user with id 1001) 1000=>1000 1001=>1002 1002=>1003 I think for doing this, I would have to get the ids and one by one remove them from the array and then run a renumeric loop renumering all the values and then I randomize in the result and I'll always get free ids.
