first, this has nothing to do with phpbb that i can tell. (i'll get a mod to remove it)

second, for being a premium service member this is a low amount of points..(the higher the point value the quicker and more experts will come.)

third, your question doesn't explain what you want.. so please explain it more..

sorry about phpbb
(i thought easier the question less i put points.....)

ill try to explain more: (you right)
i have two arrays for example
$array_1 = "1,4,2,5";
$array_2 = "4,5,2";
i want to compare two arrays to check if they have the same amount of values and the same values (even if they not in a right order). (values are always integers)
for example if arrays looks like below
$array_1 = "1,4,2,5";
$array_2 = "4,5,2,1";

if ($array_1 == $array_2)
{ echo "Done";}

Try this:

<?php
    function isArrayInArray($searchFor, $searchIn) {
        foreach($searchFor as $key) {
            $count += in_array($key,$searchIn);
        }
 
        return $count==sizeof($searchFor);
    }
?>

it works with very minor adjustment

for ($i=0;$i<=count($array1);$i++)
{
if(!$array1[$i]==$array2[$i])
{
echo arrays dotn match;
break;
}
}
thanks
