如何按所使用的数组顺序显示哪个元素？

Question

This questions seems like it already ought to be answered here, however I can't find it, probably due to lack of terminology. Hopefully someone else in the same situation could benfit from this.

I have an array $post_item.(se below) I print data from it for example

$post_item->ID

Is there a way to get the which item in the order I am printing. In other words I would like to count the items.

If the item is the one with ID 9 I would like to return a 0. If it's the one with ID 12, I would like to return a 1 etc.

stdClass Object

        [ID] => 9

Answer 1

just convert to array if you want "keys" (0,1,2..)

$arr = array();
foreach($objects as $key=>$val) { $arr[$key] = $val; }

foreach($arr as $key=>$val) {
   if ($val["ID"] == 9) { /* $key is 0,1,2.. */ }
}

perhaps a better explanation of the problem could help.
