Question

How would I figure out where a specific item is in an array? For instance I have an array like this:

(“itemone”, “someitem”, “fortay”, “soup”)

How would I get the index of “someitem”

Thanks,

Answer 1

Use array_search()

array_search — Searches the array for
a given value and returns the
corresponding key if successful

mixed array_search ( mixed $needle , array $haystack [, bool $strict ] )

Example:

$key = array_search('someitem', $array);
