You may use these to functions to retrieve whatever you have in your parameters
It reads in a "search-word" which it tries to retireve out of the array.
Gives TRUE or FALSE back if parameters exists.
Well, you test them out. Use var_dump($array) to see the latter of the functions
output.
Good luck
function is_in_array( $inst, $array ) {
// $inst refers to a part of a string or a complete one
// like in_array it gives back bool if a value exists.
// this also gives back bool if key exists
$ret = 0;
while ( list ( $key, $val ) = each ( $array ) ) {
if ( $key == "$inst" ) {
$ret = 1;
}
if ( $val == "$inst" ) {
$ret = 1;
}
}
return $ret;
}
function parse_arg( $argv, $argc ) {
$array = Array();
for ( $i = 0 ; $i < $argc ; $i++ ) {
if ( ereg( "-", $argv[ $i ] ) ) {
if ( ereg( "-", $argv[ $i + 1 ] ) ) {
$array[ "$argv[$i]" ] = "";
} else {
$array[ "$argv[$i]" ] = $argv[ $i + 1 ];
$i = $i + 1;
}
}
}
return $array;
}
