[SOLVED] copy key value in an array

[purencool]

Hi people,

 

If I have an array that is something like what is below. How do I get a copy of the key number into a variable. I just want the number nothing else?

$chickens[0]=> 12
$chickens[1]=> 1

What do you mean? Do you want to return the key of the array for a corresponding value? You can do this with array_search

It should be like this, if you use the above suggestion.

$chickens[0]=> 12
$chickens[1]=> 1

$key = array_search('12', $chickens); // $key = 0;
$key = array_search('1', $chickens);   // $key = 1;
