looping and arrays

[robertaccettura]

Quick question...

I have this array:

$thisarray = array('1','2','3','4','5');

and this one variable

$therealnumber

I need to have a loop that would test a variable against the array...

I know part of it
for($i=0;$i<$WHATSHOULDTHISBE;$i++){
how to return only a successful match
}

Can anyone fill in the missing information?

Thanks...

I'm a PHP newbe (as if you can't tell). Still trying to get a grasp of it.

More explanation the better 🙂

as an example....

$thisarray = array('1','2','3','4','5');
$itr = sizeof($thisarray);
for($i=0;$i<$itr;$i++) {
if($testvar == $thisarray[$i]) {
doSomething();
doOtherThings();
doSomemore();
break;
}
}

NOTE - you'd oly use the break if you want it to stop on the first match.

Rather then writing a loop for this, you could just use the [man]in_array[/man] function.

Yeah that!
