Description:

Hey,

I have a feature suggestion that would be used with array.
You'd simply set your array variable, use a new function (called, say,
arygrb, for arraygrab?) and it would echo a part of the array, where you
tell it to start and end, that can go across the commas and such.
Something like:
);
?>
Which would echo:
firstsecondthird
everything up from 'first' to 'third', replacing the "," with 

Of course, you could just echo "$array[0] $array[1] $array[2]" but what if
it's user input that's in the array?  What if you don't know what is in the
array, and you're searching it?

I think this would be handy.  Hope you think so too :)

-PG

Reproduce code:

); //Would echo 'firstsecondthird, the s actually being line breaks
?>

[PHP-BUG] Req #55389 [NEW]: Feature suggestion for array_search

Operating system: Ubuntu Linux
PHP version:  Irrelevant
Package:  Arrays related
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request

Hello!

I am trying to create a simple function to check whether to show an image
or display the contents of a file.  If the input is an image-type, show it
as an image, and if it's text-type, show it's source code.

I figured the best way to do this was to grab the file extension, and work
from there.  Here's my code:

--
$filetypes=array(
"text" => array("txt","php","xml","html","htm","cgi"),
"image" => array("png","jpg","jpeg","svg","bmp")
);
$type=array_search("png",$filetypes);
echo $type;
--

Basically, I want it to return 'image', in this case, because the supplied
input 'png' is in the 'image' key.  However, array_search doesn't check
arrays within arrays.

If array_search could possibly be updated to provide a search within
multidimensional arrays, that would be fantastic!

Thanks!

Test script:
---
//Filetypes array, one key for text and one key for image extensions
(shortened)
$filetypes=array(
"text" => array("txt","php","xml","html","htm","cgi"),
"image" => array("png","jpg","jpeg","svg","bmp")
);
//Look through the array for 'png', and return it's respective key.  Then
echo it.
echo $type=array_search("png",$filetypes);

Expected result:

I expect it to return 'image'.

Actual result:
--
(null, no output)
