Jessica Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 however unfortunatley its not working for, if anyone can help me i would grateful 1. Please see below. 2. What you want to do is incredibly vague. What if someone enters 44? Do they want the house number, or the number of visits?

ibz786 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Lol, sorry about my bad english i was rushing and wasn't paying attention Ok what exactly i am looking for is: If the user enters: 4, this information is sent back to the array where it searches it, and the shows all the houses which have the number 4, in this case, e.g. HA11QS, 200, house1.jpg, 4 since this house has had 4 visits, If the user had entered, 320 then: HA44CD, 320, house4.jpg, 8 if what the user enters is not in the array then it will return a message saying "Not found", however i havent added this yet, but can do Hope this helps, Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/228712-php-finding-any-value-in-array-from-a-form/#findComment-1179174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasa Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 you look for some value $max befor this value is start of line (^ in patern) or comma and space (, ) in paterrn after values is end of line ($) or comma (,) php function file() load file in array i'm, for testing, define array directly and setup value of $max manualy if you want to use your code you must trim row before explode it and separator in your file is NOT ',' it's ', ' (comma and space) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/228712-php-finding-any-value-in-array-from-a-form/#findComment-1179211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
