[SOLVED] Easy one, i guess....

[Neopyros]

I have to compare a word, with the value of a position in my array, so far so good but here's my problem:

 

if($file[$i][6] == 'Job="$_POST[slg]"')
echo 'found'; 

 

I can't compare with the value submitted in the previous page plus a content in the document, how should i do it?

 

The person will submit the word for example Test, and i need to compare the position with the value Job="Test"

errrr....

 

sorry lost me....

 

BUT if you have an array of strings that you want to search for a term then use

 

array_keys($arr,$lookfor); - this will return all teh kesy of the array that match.

 

if $arr us multi dimensional - then put the correct index in ie. $arr['jobtitles'].

 

I didn't really understand your post so if I am way off I apologize but your explanation was IMO bloody awful!!!!

Ok, let me try again, sorry...

 

I have a multi dimensional array, but i know the position to look for, so i don't want to search the entire array.

BUT, the content is Job="Test". The user will submit only the word Test for the search, i need to compare the position in my array, with Job="$_POST[slg]" but this won't work in php.

 

I guess now it's clear.

not to me!

if you have an array in an array you can search part of it like this in_array("blar", myarray['demo']);

 

will search in the array inside myarray['demo']

if you know teh position of the text in the array then I don't see what you need to do but

 

if 9strcasecomp($arr['x']['y'], "Job=" . $_POST['slg']) == 0) { echo 'found';}

 

honestly though mate your explanations are god awful.... truely awful.
