Searching arrays

[keithw]

I'm kind of new to PHP, so bear with me. I was wondering if you could search an array for something, and have the key be returned. For example, search an array for "bob" and have the key returned into the variable "$key". If this is possible, please tell me how, if it isn't the tell me if it's not possible. Thanks in advance.

your question almost answers itself: [man]array_search[/man]

Your sig's damned annoying.

in_array is another useful function.
