Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php
in_array is searching a value, not a key.

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.setcookie
---
The in_array($cookieName, $_COOKIE) always returns false even if the $cookieName exists in the
$_COOKIE array
Test script:
---------------
Note:
When checking if a cookie exist, the in_array() does not work on the $_COOKIE array, you should
isset() to check if the cookie exists.
<?php
/**
* part 1, setting cookie
*/
$name = 'testCookie';
$value = 'testValue';
$expires = time() + (60 * 60 * 24 * 365);
$path = '/';
setcookie($name, $value, $expires, $path);
/**
* part 2, retrieving cookie
*/
var_dump($_COOKIE);
// output: array(1) { ["testCookie"] => string(9) "testValue" }
var_dump(isset($_COOKIE[$name]));
// output: bool(true)
var_dump(in_array($name, $_COOKIE)); // does not work as aspected !!!
// ouput: bool(false)
echo $_COOKIE[$name];
// output: testValue
?>
Expected result:
----------------
return true on the in_array($cookieName, $_COOKIE) if the $cookieName exists in the $_COOKIE array
