How to get hierarchy path of an element in an Array
I always want to get t开发者_StackOverflow社区he exact path of an element in an array. Example array:
array(a=>'aaa', 'b'=> array ('bbb1', 'bbb2' => array('bbb3', 'bbb4')));
So, for reaching to 'bbb4', I need to go through (b => bbb2 => bbb4
).
How to get this path in multidimensional array?
function get_from_array($toBeSearchedArray , $searchValue , &$exactPath)
{
foreach($toBeSearchedArray as $key=>$value)
{
if(is_array($value) && count($value) > 0)
{
$found = get_from_array($value , $searchValue , $exactPath);
if($found)
{
$exactPath = $key."=>".$exactPath;
return TRUE;
}
}
if($value == $searchValue)
{
$exactPath = $value;
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
$exactPath = "";
$argArray = array('a'=>'aaa', 'b'=> array ('bbb1', 'bbb2' => array('bbb3', 'bbb4')));
get_from_array($argArray , "bbb4" , $exactPath);
echo $exactPath;
