$title,
$price,
etc... ));
There is several categories and in each category many products with it's data. What is a good way to search such an array for a product with a certain ID? I need the keys for each dimension returned so I can extract data from that product.
Is there a way to do this without having nested foreach loops?
Tell me If I am not clear enough.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Nested foreaches would be the best way, but doing this outside of a database to start with is bad. Why aren't you using a database? SQL queries could search though results literally thousands of time faster. |
