Only show array values if they match a condition
Posted: Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:53 pm
Hi all,
This seems like it would be straightforward, but I can't get it to work.
I have a multidimensional array where a container array contains an 'item' array that holds data arranged into their own arrays... like this:
The array structure is not mine and I can't alter it.
I'd like to loop through the array and show the [item][#][info] entries, but only for entries where the [item][#][type] is a certain value.
I'd also like to only show 10 entries at a time in some kind of pagination system, which I have already worked out.
I just can't get the array to sort itself the way I'd like using for and if statements. Something I thought would work gives me an 'execution time exceeded' warning:
The array has more than 700 entries, but it's not something I can alter.
Any ideas?

}
Any ideas?
