[RESOLVED] array help please

[jasondavis]

Below I have a simple key system I am trying to do to only allow certain people to use my little API I am building for my site. I want to give out a random 10 character key to users, I would like to not store it in a database because that would just be another additional query made to my database.

So below you see how I have it set up, a simple array and a key value, it check if key is in array, what I would like to do is in the array, store a users name and ID number

so array has
key - name- id
key - name -id
key - name -id
key - name -id

But only key will be checked with
if (in_array($key, $keyarray)) {

Any ideas how to do this, I would then like to build a page that would show the keys array in a table like
Name - key - ID
Jason - dfsdf - 34

<?PHP

$key = (!empty($_GET['key'])) ? $_GET['key']:null;
$keyarray = array('fsadfasdfg','fsdfdfsdfs','ghlsdjkdfg');

//see if key is valid
if (in_array($key, $keyarray)) {
	//key is valid so do stuff
	//
	///
	///
	//
	//
}else{
	echo 'Not a Valid Key';
}
?>

I tried this but it doesnt work

$key = 'fsadfasdfg';


$keyarray = array( array('fsadfasdfg', 'Adam' , 15),
               array('fsdfdfsdfs', 'Jason' , 1),
               array('ghlsdjkdfg', 'Renee' , 2) 
             );

if (in_array($key, $keyarray)) {
//good
}

$key = 'fsadfasdfg';
$keyarray = array( array('fsadfasdfg', 'Adam' , 15),
               array('fsdfdfsdfs', 'Jason' , 1),
               array('ghlsdjkdfg', 'Renee' , 2)); 
foreach ($keyarray as $check) {
   if ($key == $check[0]) {
      $good = true;
      break;
   }
}
if ($good) {
// run the code
}

may do it.
