Question

When using:

if (in_array("boots", $products)) {
 echo "Boots found";
} 

Lets say this comes back as True, then how can I find the numeric value of where “boots” is in my $products array?

Answer 1

You can use the array_search function:

$key = array_search('boots', $products);

The best part is, you can use array_search instead of in_array, because it returns FALSE if the needle can’t be found in the haystack.
