searching in multidimensional array for a date

Hello to everybody,

I am using the following function in order to search in multi-dimensional array, as per note added on http://it.php.net/array_search,

function array_search_recursive($data0, $FinRecSet, $a=0, $nodes_temp=array()){
global $nodes_found;
$a++;
foreach ($FinRecSet as $key1=>$value1) {
$nodes_temp[$a] = $key1;
if (is_array($value1)){
array_search_recursive($data0, $value1, $a, $nodes_temp);
}
else if ($value1 === $data0){
$nodes_found = $nodes_temp[1];
}
}
return $nodes_found;
}

where
$data0 is a date (ex:'1-1-2008')
and $FinRecSet is an array containing financial entries
like this
Array (

=> Array ( [Id] => 281 [Date] => 01-01-2008 [FCode] => A01 [Descr] => Prova [Debit] => 100.00 [RunDeb] => 2065300.64 [Credit] => 0..00 [RunCre] => 3020765.67 [RunBal] => -955465.03 [Rec] => 0 ) [1] => Array ( [Id] => 282 [Date] => 01-01-2008 [FCode] => A02 [Descr] => Prova [Debit] => 120.00 [RunDeb] => 2065420.64 [Credit] => 0..00 [RunCre] => 3020765.67 [RunBal] => -955345.03 [Rec] => 0 ) ect.....

when I run function I get exactely the last entry with date = '1-1-2008', problem is when I don't have entries on such date, for that I should modify function in order to get entry on older date available before $data0.
For example if $date0 = '1-1-2008'
and first entry is available only on '30-12-2007', how should I modify function?

Thank you for your attention.

You should modify this function by getting rid of it entirely, putting
your data in an SQL database, and writing an SQL query to do what you
want.

Other than that, you're on the right track...
