strposa

Example: strposa ( string $haystack, array $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] )

This function searches a string for every element/value found in an array and returns the position of the first element/value found in the string. In technical terms, it searches for mutilple needles in a haystack and returns the position of the first occurance found in the string. Note: this function is case sensitive.

[php]

/**
* strposa ( string $haystack, array $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] )
*
* @param string $haystack
* @param mixed $needles – should be an array, but can be any
* string, int, or array
* @param integer $offset
* @return the position of the first items found in the array

* Description:
* ========================
* – searches for mutilple needles in a haystack and returns
* the position of the first occurance, case-sensitive.
* – finds the position of the first occurrence of array (needles)
* in the haystack string, case-sensitive.
* – if you are looking for more than one needle in the haystack,
* this function will replace php’s strpos()
* – if you searching for the position of a single value, it is
* recommended that you use strpos().
*
*
* Notes:
* ====================================
* below are several functions that search for the position of a needle)
* —————————————————————————
* strpos() - Returns the position of the first occurrence of a needle
* in the haystack string, case-sensitive.
* stripos() - Returns the position of the first occurrence of a needle
* in the haystack string, case-insensitive.
* strrpos() - Returns the position of the last occurrence of needle in
* the haystack string, case-sensitive. Note that the needle
* in this case can only be a single character in PHP 4. If a
* string is passed as the needle, then only the first character
* of that string will be used.
* strripos() - Returns the position of the last occurrence of needle in the
* haystack string, case-insensitive.

$needles = array(‘woodchuck’, ‘wood’, ‘could’, ‘chuck’);

$string = strposa( $haystack, $needles );
print_r($string);

/**
* the result will be 9,
* it found the word ‘wood’ first on the 9th element of the haystack.
* remember that it’s really the 10th item on the list, but php starts with 0 (zero).

Two Dimensional Array Key Swap in PHP

Example: array[key1][key2] → array[key2][key1]

This function takes a two dimensional array[x][y], swaps the first key with the second key so the values can be referenced using array[y][x]. It was also added as a user contributed note to the PHP: Array Manual on php.net’s website on October 10, 2009.

This function takes a two dimensional array[x][y], swaps the first
key with the second key so the values can be referenced using array[y][x].

Example:
samplearray['directiory'][0] = "myicons";
samplearray['directiory'][1] = "myicons";
samplearray['directiory'][2] = "myiconsold";
samplearray['directiory'][3] = "myiconsold";

samplearray['filename'][0] = "hat.png";
samplearray['filename'][1] = "dog.png";
samplearray['filename'][2] = "mice.png";
samplearray['filename'][3] = "rat.png";

The above array converts to:

newarray[0]['filename'] = "hat.png";
newarray[0]['directiory'] = "myicons";
newarray[1]['filename'] = "dog.png";
newarray[1]['directiory'] = "myicons";
newarray[2]['filename'] = "mice.png";
newarray[2]['directiory'] = "myiconsold";
newarray[3]['filename'] = "rat.png";
newarray[3]['directiory'] = "myiconsold";

*/

$keys = array_keys( $two_dimensional_array );

$array_swaped = array();

foreach( $two_dimensional_array[$keys[0]] as $key_counter => $value1 ) {

$temp_array = array();

foreach( $keys as $key) {
$temp_array[$key] = $two_dimensional_array[$key][$key_counter];
}

$array_swaped[] = $temp_array;
}

return $array_swaped;
}
