Arrays with indexes that are arrays

[Anon]

I have a complex 'structure' built from arrays. One element is:

$nav_bar[$i]['item'][$j]['display'] == 'Home'

I also have a simple array $auth_func where:

$auth_func['Home'] == 'Home'

I need to check if the element from the structure is in the simple assoc array. I would like to do the following, but it does not work.

if (isset($auth_func[$nav_bar[$i]['item'][$j]['display']])) {
blah;
}

Is there a way to use the array notation as the insex into another assoc array?
This is driving me nuts!

Thanks.

this would work:
if ($auth_func[ $nav_bar[$i]['item'][$j]['display'] ]) {
// stuff
}

I would strongly recommend changing your iterators to something readable. While i is ok for simple loops, i and j make for very hard to read code.

Tom,
Thanks, but I'm afraid it does not work. BTW, I am using 3.0.15 on Win32 and Linux. It fails on both. I've tried curly brackets as well -- no change.

I know the arrays hold the info. I can print it.

I've found the problem. I was trying to access the wrong element in the array. So much for staring at the code for hours!
