However, that doesn't mean that a key that exists in such an inner array belongs to the outer array. Therefore the documentation is not in error, in my opinion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-04 19:01:06] martin at wenhaston dot net Description: ------------ The manual page for array_key_exists does not state in any form that array_key_exists DOES NOT WORK on multidimensional arrays. http://php.net/array_key_exists Test script: --------------- $array = ("horse","tree","card"); $array['guard']['dog'] = "wOOF"; if (array_key_exists("dog",$array)){ print "found!"; } else { print "Dog not found!"; } // Never finds array key dog. Only searches first level of array. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71713&edit=1
