Awhile back I found that I really needed a way to search through multi-dimensional arrays. PHP has the in_array() function built-in to the language, but I needed a similar function that would search through an array with more than one dimension. I use the following function in_array_multiple() to get this job done and it works perfectly. It is a very simple function, but it does exactly what it needs to:
<?php
/**
* Multiple-dimensional array search

Earlier this month I wanted to update my texting plan on my iPhone, because I had continually been going over my quota each month and it was cheaper just to upgrade my texting plan. I logged into the AT&T website, where with most mobile phones you can easily upgrade your plan and your features online. Oh no, not with the iPhone.

Today Apple released the ultra-thin MacBook Air at the MacWorld 2008 conference. The MacBook Air is the thinnest laptop on the market, whilst still retaining a satisfactory display, keyboard, and level of computing power.

MacWorld, the highly anticipated Apple conference, is set to start tomorrow (Tuesday). As usual, Steve Jobs will give the opening keynote address, which, again as usual, has started up the rumour-mill about Apple's upcoming announcements. Quite a large majority of the speculations are rather far-fetched and are only the crazy dreams of Mac-addicts. Personally, I simply see Apple updating three of their product lines which are in dire need of updates:
