Hi

I know this should be simple, but I can't figure this one out correctly. I need to filter a multidimentional array on a date. Actually I need to filter on year only, but I thought I'd try with a date first.

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2012-10-26
            [1] => 500
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2012-10-25
            [1] => 500
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2012-10-26
            [1] => 500
        )

)

Is the array example. I've tried

        foreach($revenueArray as $key => $row) {
		if( $row[0]=='2012-10-25' ):
			unset($revenueArray[$key]);
		endif;
	}

The strange part is, if I try to filter on the other value:

if( $row[1]==500 ):
			unset($revenueArray[$key]);
		endif;

then it works fine, so must be something about the date

But still no cigar :-)

If anybody know how, I'd appreciate the help.

Edit: strange part is, if I do a :

if (is_string($row[0])){ echo "yes it's a string"; }

Then it returns the echo, so why can't I compare a string to a string in [0] when I can in [1] ?

Thanks

And that wasn't displaying when I printed the array. So no wonder why I couldn't compare the values. Got it working now by addressing the value directly (no dom) The following user(s) said Thank You: JoomGuy

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
