note 116421 added to function.array-search

The array_search method doesn't return true, as one might otherwise expect it to, on the 1st array node (key: 0). If you're just trying to detect the existence of a value in an array, then 'in_array' is the method you'll want to use, not this. <?php $array = array(1,2); // returns false if (array_search(1,$array)) { print "checked"; } // returns true if (in_array(1,$array)) { print "checked"; } ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 2001:4800:7813:516:c4d0:558f:aada:73df ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116421 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116421/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116421/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116421/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116421/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116421/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116421/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116421 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116421 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
