Array value exists

[The Little Guy]

Maybe I am over thinking this, but I would like to see if their is another value after the current value without moving the internal array pointer. What can I do?

[AbraCadaver]

That's very vague, maybe some code.  But here is a vague answer:

 

$i = 0;

if(isset($array[i$+1])) {
   //something;
}

I think the OP is wanting to see if there are duplicate values in the array. So, if he is looping through the array and finds that element '2' has a value of 'foo', how would he determine if there is another value 'foo' in the array with a higher index.

 

It would be helpful if you were to explain the process you are trying to accomplish. I can think of a few different solutions, but which one I would go with would be directly tied to what the goal is.

 

But, most likely I would be using array_count_values(): http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-count-values.php

If it does involve removing duplicate values, array_unique is there and works wonders.

basically I have an array, the array has sub arrays, and those sub arrays have a value called "processing" I want to loop through that array until all the "processing" values equal false.

[The Little Guy]

Basically Here is my array (this only has 2 values this can have lots of values):

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [thread] => Resource id #14
            [processing] => 1
            [thread_id] => 0
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [thread] => Resource id #15
            [processing] => 1
            [thread_id] => 1
        )

)

 

I want to check the above array and return something when the value "processing" of all the arrays equal 0 a.k.a false does that make more sense?

[Zurev]

foreach ($mainArray as $eachArray)
{
      foreach ($eachArray as $key => $val)
      {
               if ($key=="processing" && $val==false)
               {
                        // do action here
                        break 2; // ends foreach loops
               }
       }
}

 

Did that help?

here is what I have so far in my method:

 

		reset($this->threads);
	while(list($key, $thread) = each($this->threads)){
		print_r($thread);
		$this->pollThread($thread['thread_id'], $output, $headers);
		if($thread['processing']){
			$this->processing = true;
		}
	}

With that array format, you have no option other than iterating over each of the array values to check if the sub-array has a processing of 0 or 1. However, if this array is coming from a DB query, then you should simply do an array to see if all of the target values have a processing value of 0.

It is not coming from a db, It is coming from a script
