This is VERY WELL-KNOWN feature of PHP, not a bug.
Just pass true as 3rd argument. (default is false)
Read documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php
<?php
$needle = 's';
$elements = [1];
var_dump(in_array($needle, $elements, false)); // 's' == 1 -> bool(true)
var_dump(in_array($needle, $elements, true)); // 's' === 1 -> bool(false)

Description:
------------
using PHP Version 5.6.14-0+deb8u1 on a debian operating system, here is what I get with the
following testing script.
I think that 'Expected result' should be obtained without using the third parameter of
in_array ([, bool $strict = FALSE ]) otherwise it is very confusing.
Test script:
---------------
echo 'test1:'.(in_array('string',[0,1])?'true':'false');
echo 'test2:'.(in_array('string',[1])?'true':'false');
echo 'test3:'.(in_array('string',[0])?'true':'false');
Expected result:
----------------
test1:false
test2:false
test3:false
Actual result:
--------------
test1:true
test2:false
test3:true
------------------------------------------------------------------------
