Just an FYI for anyone encountering strange issues with in_array. $a = array('edit','view','somethingelse',0); echo in_array('edit',$a) ? 'true' : 'false'; echo in_array('delete',$a) ? 'true' : 'false'; This returns "true" for both checks. instead of false for the second check. I encountered this while debugging an issue in mediawiki.. one of the addons I used defined the rights array incorrectly and added a "0" to the array so ALL RIGHTS CHECKS WERE TRUE!!!!. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=8015 this bug report basically brushes off the obvious wrong behaviour as "you must use strict checking" ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 74.202.106.37 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93293 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93293/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93293/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93293/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93293/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93293/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93293/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93293 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93293 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
