setting variable to array based off content

[patrick99e99]

Hi everyone!

I am curious how to do this-- and am more curious if there is a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do anyway...

My question is:

if I have many arrays... And I want to define a variable to one particular array based off of one of the contents of the array.. is the best way to do this:

 foreach ($product as $i)
               {
                  if ($i[title]=="Application Fee")
                  {
                  $x=$i;
                  }
               }

or is there an easier way to do this without having to cycle through every array? (assuming that the [title] is always unique in each array.

I'm not real fond of this, but it seems to work:

function assign_arr($arr) 
{
    global $x;
    if ($arr['title'] == 'Application Fee') {
        $x = $arr;
    }
}

array_map('assign_arr', $product);

I think the way you're doing it is better. I'd make one change (besides better formatting, better variable naming, and array element quoting):

foreach ($product_arr as $sub_arr) { 
    if ($sub_arr['title'] == "Application Fee") { 
        $x_arr = $sub_arr;
        break; 
    } 
}
