[thelist] CSV+PHP, MORE

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
I can get the CSV file to read in (fgetcsv) and print it's entire contents
into a table, however, I want it only to print out the record that matches a
variable set in a preceeding form.

So, when a custmer enters model # ABC, I want PHP to run through the
contents of the CSV file (300 records) and search for the row that contains
model # ABC. If found, only that row will print.

Just ran across this when consulting the manual for something else. From the
PHP manual page;

in_array
(PHP 4 )

in_array -- Return TRUE if a value exists in an array
Description
bool in_array ( mixed needle, array haystack [, bool strict])


Searches haystack for needle and returns TRUE if it is found in the array,
FALSE otherwise.

If the third parameter strict is set to TRUE then the in_array() function
will also check the types of the needle in the haystack.

Note: If needle is a string, the comparison is done in a case-sensitive
manner.

Note: In PHP versions before 4.2.0 needle was not allowed to be an array.

HTH!
