What input array? The array is generated in the code, and the indicies
are coming from the user - probably via either $_GET or $_POST values.
He is generating this array in his code to hold the values, and needs to
only index properly into the array to get the result he wants. No
searching or classes needed, i.e. (after proper filtering, of course)
$rate = $rates[$_POST['animal']][$_POST['color']];
Much easier to understand and code.
