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

Let me first state that this is an amazing and fascinating product exactly what I was looking for. In just a few hours (listening to the very well made and clearly understandable videos learning doing) I completed and installed my first component. I am now in the second refining phase. I will make a recommenation in JED. Thanks for the effort in creating such a great product. Incidentally some of the best Joomla extension I use are of French origin !
