Note Submitter: fatcow at gmail dot com ---- 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"; } ?>
