Array search string problem

hi there.

i've got a problem.

imagine the following array containing several elements (lines) similar to this: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:12345 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 78965 /sshd etc etc

i've been using this code to search by "12345". i want to count how many times it apears in the array.


$var = "12345";

if(!in_array( $var, $users )) {
echo "not found.";
} else {
$cont = $cont + 1;

}

echo $cont;

problem: but this code searches complete lines, not strings in the lines... only findes if i put $var = "tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:12345 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 78965 /sshd etc etc" ...


Thanks in advance!

 

Look into the array_keys function.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-keys.php

This will return each key which contains a search string. You'd just need to count the keys and you're in business.
