hi all,

one of my friends faced the following question at an interview:

Which method will you follow to search a record from a million records
in an array?

Please help

something along the lines of:

$idiot =
find_programmer_who_wrote_code($with_array_holding_a_million_records);
apply($idiot, $cattle_prod);

I'd need to be very desperate to take this job.
