Hi all, I have an array, which I'd like to search for a value in and retreive the array key if it exists, but not sure how to even go about doing that. Here's my array:
Array
(
[hours] => Array
(
[0] => 5
[1] => 5
[2] => 6
[3] => 6
[4] => 8
[5] => 10
)
)
So I'd like to search the hours array for 10, if 10 exists in the array, I want the key (5) to be returned. If that makes sense?
Am trying to do it dynamically so the search string (10) will change, but I figure if I can get it working for number 10, I can get it working with a variable number :)
