NOTE!! When using "file" to load the contents of a file into an array newlines "\n" are inclued on each line of the array. The newlines cause functions like array_search to appear to fail as the newline is somewhat hidden. Use something like this to do a cleanup before using array_search or in_array: foreach (file ('test.txt') as $line) { $array[] = substr ($line, 0, -1); } --was-- NOTE!!
