Note Submitter: robe_NO_SPAM at post_NO_SPAM dot cz ---- In contribution of <jon@gaarsmand.dk>: I think we should use more general approach while walking through array, so instead your 'for' loop I'd suggest while list.. as follows: function in_multi_array($needle, $haystack) //taken from php.net, adapted { $in_multi_array = false; if(in_array($needle, $haystack)) { $in_multi_array = true; } else { while (list($tmpkey,$tmpval) = each ($haystack)) //here is the change { if(is_array($haystack[$tmpkey])){ if (in_multi_array($needle, $haystack[$tmpkey])) { $in_multi_array = true; break; } } } } return $in_multi_array; } I hope code is readible, some problems with formatting occured.
