i m extending the wordpress internal widget input api to simplify things,
so for that i wanted a function that perform drill.
i have considered other options but they wont be effecient, if a php
internal function is build it would be just a [] similar one, and most
effecient
because while recursing through the function.
i built a drill function
function array_drill( $array, $key){
foreach( $key as $k ){
if( isset( $array[$k] ) )
$array = $array[$k];
else
return false;
}
return $array;
}
just convert [] to function drill
