[RESOLVED] Problem with in_array

Oni

Hi-

I'm trying to get in_array to work with variables and I'm having some trouble. As in it doesn't give me an error nor a response.

It would also be nice to have a not case sensitive search take place but I dunno how to do that.

<?php
$video_ext = array(".avi",".mpg", ".asf", ".divx", ".m1v", ".m2v", ".mov", ".mp1v", ".mp2v", ".mpe", ".mpeg", ".mps", ".mpv", ".mpv1", ".mpv2", ".ogm", ".qt", ".ram", ".rm", ".rv", ".vivo", ".vob", ".wmv");

$music_ext = array(".669", ".aac", ".aif", ".aiff", ".amf", ".ams", ".ape", ".au", ".dbm", ".dmf", ".dsm", ".far", ".flac", ".it", ".mdl", ".med", ".mid", ".midi", ".mod", ".mol", ".mp1", ".mp2", ".mp3", ".mp4", ".mpa", ".mpc", ".mpp", ".mtm", ".nst", ".ogg", ".okt", ".psm", ".ptm", ".ra", ".rmi", ".s3m", ".stm", ".ult", ".umx", ".wav", ".wma", ".wow", ".xm");

$picture_ext = array(".bmp", ".dcx", ".emf", ".gif", ".ico", ".jpeg", ".jpg", ".pct", ".pcx", ".pic", ".pict", ".png", ".psd", ".psp", ".tga", ".tif", ".tiff", ".wmf", ".xif");

$archprog_ext = array(".ace", ".arj", ".gz", ".hqx", ".lha", ".rar", ".sea", ".sit", ".tar", ".tgz", ".uc2", ".zip", ".7z", ".bin", ".bwa", ".bwi", ".bws", ".bwt", ".ccd", ".cue", ".dmg", ".dmz", ".img", ".iso", ".mdf", ".mds", ".nrg", ".toast", ".bat", ".cmd", ".com", ".exe");

$docs_ext = array(".doc",".htm", ".pdf", ".srt", ".sub", ".txt", ".html", ".xls", ".ps", ".eps", ".rtf");


$a = "music.mp3";


if (in_array($a, $music_ext, true)) {
   echo "Its music";
}


?>

Thats because your searching for music.mp3 not just mp3.

Oni

Ah!
heh, dunno how I got the idea that that would work...

rincewind456

what you could do is take all the dots out of the arrays then do this

$a = 'music.mp3';
list($title,$suffix) =explode('.',$a);



if (in_array($suffix, $music_ext, true)) {
   echo "Its music";
}

Installer

Or this, and for case insensitivity:

$a = "my.music.MP3"; 
$suffix = strtolower(strrchr($a, '.'));
if (in_array($suffix, $music_ext, true)) { 
   echo "Its music"; 
}

Thanks Installer, does just what I was looking to do.
