Maybe even overload the third argument (e.g. if it's not a boolean, then assume callback), so we can do something like: in_array('a', array('A', 'b'), function($a, $b) { return !strcasecmp($a, $b); }); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-12-14 18:01:34] ppadron@php.net Since in_array() handles different types, I don't think it would make sense to add a parameter that is exclusive to handling strings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-12-09 16:48:11] Hast4656 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Can you please add parameter for in_array that let this function to compare strings insensitive? Test script: --------------- // something like in_array('a', Array('a', 'A'), true, true); // 4th bool param says should the function compare string in a case-sensitive manner or not ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60485&edit=1
