Well I don't want have to specify $val['ponbr'] == 'TEST1' I want to say if
($val['ponbr'] == repeated value) then $resultArray[$key] = $val;
In other words I want to go through the array matched the values of ponbr
that repeat or are the same so if they match then I put the results in
another array. Does this make sense? sorry I have difficulties with arrays
still.
thnx for your input
