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

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
