Strange (buggy?) array_search behaviour? [SOLVED]
Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 3:05 am
OK, this is odd and I simply got to be missing something here...
Through the range() function I create a simple array:
Now, if $search_value is anything from 1.55 (i.e. the first value in the range array) up to 1.62 (key #7), array_search can find it just fine. But if $search_value is anything from 1.63 ((key #8) up to the last array element, it returns false.
This is odd... Have you experienced anything like this? I know I may not have the newest PHP 5 tree version but maybe I am just missing something here.
Thanks!

Code: Select all
$search_value = 1.57;
$range_r = range(1.55, 1.75, 0.01);
$is_in_range = array_search($search_value , $range_r);
echo "<pre>"; print_r($range_r); echo "</pre>";
var_dump($is_in_range);Code: Select all
Array
(
[0] => 1.55
[1] => 1.56
[2] => 1.57
[3] => 1.58
[4] => 1.59
[5] => 1.6
[6] => 1.61
[7] => 1.62
[8] => 1.63
[9] => 1.64
[10] => 1.65
