I already tried this:
<?php
function checkForOrange($farben) {
foreach($farben as $element) {
if(in_array('orange',$element) || in_array('Orange',$element)) {
return $so;
}
return false;
}
}
$so = checkForOrange($farben);
if (!empty($so)) { echo "nothing"; }
if (isset($so)) { echo "daa"; }
?>
but it always returns "daa" even if i check for sfefrsefdeas. Can someone please give me a working code for this?
Function to check existence of value in multidimensional array.
Function return true or false, you can use it in general.
function search_in_array($value, $array) {
if(in_array($value, $array)) {
return true;
}
foreach($array as $item) {
if(is_array($item) && search_in_array($value, $item))
return true;
}
return false;
}
--------- edit ----------- Based on your comment, and an example of an array
function check_in_array($value, $array, $key){
foreach($array as $item){
if($item[$key] == $value)
return true;
}
return false;
}
And then call it like this check_in_array('orange', $array, 'FacetValueName');
Or this
check_in_array('orange', $array, 'FacetValueName') && check_in_array('Orange', $array, 'FacetValueName') && check_in_array('dark orange', $array, 'FacetValueName')
to check multiple values at once.
That's how I see it. Assuming you are comparing in_array to the foreached value, you are having a multidimensional array. So I basically created two 2d arrays. One called $farben1 and the second $farben2. In the first one key 'fruits' => 0=> 'Apple', 1=>'Orange', 2=>'Lemon'; while the second has Melon instead of orange. So it does not contains the word 'orange'.
If think you can just compare if the lowered value of $element is 'orange', so I assigned strtolower() to your array $element.
<?php
function checkForOrange(array $farben) {
foreach($farben as $element) {
$bool[] = in_array('orange', array_map('strtolower', $element));
}
return in_array(TRUE, $bool);
}
$farben1['animals'] = array('cat', 'Dog', 'Lion');
$farben1['fruits'] = array('Apple', 'Orange', 'Lemon'); //contains
$farben1['flowers'] = array('Roses', 'violets');
echo !checkForOrange($farben1) ? 'nothing' : 'daaa'; // prints daaa
echo "<br /> <br />";
$farben2['animals'] = array('cat', 'Dog', 'Lion');
$farben2['fruits'] = array('Apple', 'Melon', 'Lemon'); //does not contain
$farben2['flowers'] = array('Roses', 'violets');
echo !checkForOrange($farben2) ? 'nothing' : 'daaa'; // prints Nothing
?>
Here is the function i made to check if value is exist in multi-dimension array.
function is_val_exists($needle, $haystack) {
if(in_array($needle, $haystack)) {
return true;
}
foreach($haystack as $element) {
if(is_array($element) && is_val_exists($needle, $element))
return true;
}
return false;
}
You can use it like:
is_val_exists('your_value', $your_array);
It will return true if your_value is exists in $your_array.
