Problem searching arrays. Need help understanding

[csphard]

Need help. The following is my array
Array ( [1] => 10 [2] => 10 )

I am trying to search this array doing the following

$thisRow = $row[id];
$myQty = array_search($thisRow, $contents);


the answer I am getting is
thisRow = 10
myQty = 1

When I want
thisRow = 1
myQty = 10

What am I getting wrong.

You are setting thisrow to the VALUE of row[id] and to the array key of that value ( which would be just id)

I'm not sue you are understanding how an array works, or how array_search works.

$row['id'] would return the value of the array for the id key. $row[1] returns 10. row[2] also returns 10. if you had a third value in your array: Array ( [1] => 10 [2] => 10 [3]=> 12)
$row[3] would return 12.


Then you use the array_search which returns a key in the
array that holds the specified value.

So you search the array for the value 10. the first place it finds it is in the 1 key so it returns 1.

If you where to search for 12 it would return 3.
