You'd have to walk through the array and use strstr or ereg for that.
You could maybe use PHP's array_walk function, but that might be a bit
tricky for a beginner, unless you've programmed before...
function my_array_search($needle, $haystack){
# Go ahead and use the built-in one, in case it's a perfect match:
$result = array_search($needle, $haystack);
reset($haystack);
while (!($result === FALSE) && (list($k, $v) = each($haystack)){
# Or maybe you wanted ereg($needle, $v) here...
$result = ereg($v, $needle) ? $k : FALSE;
}
return $result;
}
