Ultra-simple array question

[johnsmith153]

if(in_array("b", $array)) {

}

 

The above checks to see if a value is present in an array, but how do I then retrieve the array key value from the matching value?

 

$array[0] = "a";

$array[1] = "b";

$array[2] = "c";

 

So in the example, the answer is 1 (array key 1).

It's doing what you want - it's telling that b is in the array. Use array_search() to find out where.
