Search value in php array and get all keys

Question

Is there any better (= quicker ) solution to get all keys of value in array than foreach loop with if?

$array = array('apple', 'orange', 'pear', 'banana', 'apple',
'pear', 'kiwi', 'kiwi', 'kiwi');

print_r($array); will give me:

Array ( [0] => apple [1] => orange [2] => pear [3] => banana [4] => apple [5] => pear [6] => kiwi [7] => kiwi [8] => kiwi )

array_search("kiwi", $array); will give me 6

But I want all keys of kiwi. So I want 6,7,8. In this case.

Bruteforce search loop:

 $searchObject = "kiwi";
 $keys = array();
 foreach($array as $k => $v) {
 if($v == $searchObject) $keys[] = $k; 
}

Answer 1

function array_search_values( $m_needle, $a_haystack, $b_strict = false){
    return array_intersect_key( $a_haystack, array_flip( array_keys( $a_haystack, $m_needle, $b_strict)));
}

$array = array('apple', 'orange', 'pear', 'banana', 'apple',
'pear', 'kiwi', 'kiwi', 'kiwi');

print_r( array_search_values( 'kiwi', $array,true));

Try this :)

<?php
    $array = array('apple', 'orange', 'pear', 'banana', 'apple','pear', 'kiwi', 'kiwi', 'kiwi');
    $count = count($array);
    $str_to_search = 'kiwi';
    for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
        if($array[$i] == $str_to_search){
            echo $i.",";
        }
    }
?>
