foreach loop in if statement

[manicleek]

is there any way i can print out an array into an if statement.

e.g.

I have an array:

$array = array('1' => 'test1', '2' => 'test2', '3' => 'test3');

and i would like to do a foreach($array as $key => $value) into an if statement so it looked like:

if($item[1] == 'test1' || $item[2] == 'test2' || $item[3] == 'test3') {
       //Do something
}

Please note that the first index is 0, not 1. So $array[0] is 'test1' and so on.

foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
  if ($value === 'test' . ($key + 1)) {
    // do something
    // if something gets done, you might want to stop the loop. If so, you need to add a break:
    //break;
  }
}

Yes and it's not far off what you have....

foreach($parts as $key=>$value) {
    if(($value == 'test1') || ($value == 'test2')) {
        // do something
    }
} 

Depending on what you want to do

Don't think either of those will help

basically if I have an array containing

$details =array(0 => array('desk' => 'wood', 'computer => 'mac'),
                     1 =>array('desk' => 'steel', 'computer => 'mac'))

I want to be able to search that array by passing another array to a function

eg

$search = array('desk'=>'wood', 'computer'=>'mac');

function search($search) 
{
     for($i=0; $<count($details); $i++) {
           /*This is where I would need to print the $order array as foreach ($search as $key to value)*/
            if($details[$i]['desk'] == 'wood &&  $details[$i]['computer'] == 'mac') {
                //Do something
            }
     }
}

if

$search = array('desk'=>'wood');

then it would just be

function search($search) 
{
     for($i=0; $<count($details); $i++) {
           /*This is where I would need to print the $order array as foreach ($search as $key to value)*/
            if($details[$i]['desk'] == 'wood) {
                //Do something
            }
     }
}

Are you looking for something like this?

<?php
function search($search, $details) {
    $tmp = "";
    for ($i = 0; $i <= count($details); $i++) {
        foreach ($search as $key => $value) {
            if ($details[$i][$key] == $value) {
                $tmp .= "found.<br />\n";
            }
        }
    }
    return $tmp;
}
$details = array(0 => array("desk" => "wood",
                            "computer" => "mac"),
                 1 => array("desk" => "steel",
                             "computer" => "mac"));
$search = array("computer" => "mac"); // returns 'found.' twice
$search = array("desk" => "wood"); // returns 'found.' once
echo search($search, $details);
?>

Not quite, for what I intend on doing the if statement would have to change based on the contents of the $search array

so for

$search = array('desk'=>'wood', 'computer'=>'mac');

if($details[$i]['desk'] == 'wood &&  $details[$i]['computer'] == 'mac') {

and for

$search = array('desk'=>'wood');

if($details[$i]['desk'] == 'wood') {

function search($search) 
{
     for($i=0; $<count($details); $i++) {
            $t=array_intersect_key($details[$i],$search);
            if($search==$t) {
                //Do something
            }
     }
}
