Best way to do array_search on multi-dimensional array?

 

$array['key1']['key2']['key3'] = "hello";

 

So, somehow, I provide "hello" and it returns array('key1', 'key2', 'key3'); - that would be ideal.

Have another array:

 

<?php
// create this one at the same time you created the one above.
$array2['hello'] = array( array('key1', 'key2', 'key3'), ...);   // assuming there can be more than one path?

Thanks, but I don't have access to it that way. It's stored / created in a file on another server. Strange I suppose.

 

array_search would be perfect if it grabbed everything. Is there not a way to do this?

 

Thanks anyway.

So? You can still loop through and organize it in the way I posted.

 

This depends on how often you will have to check for values. If more than once, then yes, organize it. If just once (and only once), then you can loop and find it manually instead of storing it.
