array_search help

[MDanz]

$str consists of about 100 words. 

 

 

what this code does is search for $search in the $words array and then echoes the result if found, the first 10 results before it and after it. 

 

 

But my dilemna is when the result(word) occurs more than once in the array. How do i go onto the next word in the array search?

 

 

e.g. if there is 5 "batmans" in this 100 word string.  with the array search it would only go to the first batman(result), how would i get the second result in the array search?

$words = str_word_count($str,1);

$index = array_search($search, $words);

echo implode(' ',array_slice($words, $index - 10,  20, true));

If needle  is found in haystack  more than once, the first matching key is returned. To return the keys for all matching values, use array_keys() with the optional search_value  parameter instead.

$index = array_keys($words, $search);

try

<?php
$words = str_word_count($str,1);
$word1=$words;
while ($index = array_search($search, $word1)){
$word1[$index]='';
echo implode(' ',array_slice($words, $index - 10,  20, true)); 
echo "<br />\n";
}

?>
