array_key_exist help

[hiflyerx]

So, given:

Array
(
    [person.ics] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [BEGIN] => VEVENT
                    [DTSTART] => 20071207T153000Z
                    [DTEND] => 20071208T020000Z
                    [DTSTAMP] => 20090215T052445Z
                    [UID] => [e-mail]
                    [CLASS] => PRIVATE
                    [CREATED] => 20090215T003047Z
                    [DESCRIPTION] => 
                    [LAST-MODIFIED] => 20090215T003047Z
                    [LOCATION] => 
                    [SEQUENCE] => 0
                    [STATUS] => CONFIRMED
                    [SUMMARY] => Misc 4
                    [TRANSP] => OPAQUE
                    [END] => VEVENT
                )

If this event does not contain the 'DTSTART' key, i want to break this inner foreach

foreach ($iCaltoArray as $key => $inner_array){
	foreach ($iCaltoArray[$key] as $event => $innerarray2){


			if (array_key_exists('DTSTART', $event)){
				// continue on merry way
			} else {
				break;
			}

But I can't get this to work!

Any help pleeease?

( trying to get rid of the: "Undefined index: DTSTART" errors in my php log file! )

update it to be:

				if (array_key_exists('DTSTART', $iCaltoArray[$key][$event]) == FALSE){
					break;
				}

but still not working right - I get no output

[hiflyerx]

fixed 😉

well, not really but:

error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); 

works for now 😉

I'd still like to know the real solution

I think that you want to do this instead:

foreach ($iCaltoArray as $value) {
	foreach ($value as $event => $inner_array) {
		if (array_key_exists('DTSTART', $inner_array)) {
			// continue on merry way
		} else {
			break;
		}
	}
}

The problem is that $event is a key, but you want to do is check the corresponding value, which is an array, to see if there is a key 'DTSTART'.
