note 91911 added to function.in-array

I just struggled for a while with this, although it may be obvious to others. If you have an array with mixed type content such as: <?php $ary = array ( 1, "John", 0, "Foo", "Bar" ); ?> be sure to use the strict checking when searching for a string in the array, or it will match on the 0 int in that array and give a true for all values of needle that are strings strings. <?php var_dump( in_array( 2, $ary ) ); // outputs FALSE var_dump( in_array( 'Not in there', $ary ) ); // outputs TRUE var_dump( in_array( 'Not in there', $ary, TRUE ) ); // outputs FALSE ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 89.105.107.98 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91911 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91911/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91911/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91911/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91911/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91911/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91911/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91911 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91911 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
