Note Submitter: rajeevroy15 at gmail dot com dot com ---- is_array function checks only array only and giving incorrect result with multi-dimensional arrays. Here is a custom function which will give the solution to check Array or Object and Checking of multi-dimensional arrays and objects as well. <?php function in_object($val, $obj){ if($val == ""){ trigger_error("in_object expects parameter 1 must not empty", E_USER_WARNING); return false; } if(!is_object($obj)){ $obj = (object)$obj; } foreach($obj as $key => $value){ if(!is_object($value) && !is_array($value)){ if($value == $val){ return true; } }else{ return in_object($val, $value); } } return false; } ?> Usage : <?php $array = array("a", "b", "c"=>array("x", "y"=>array("p", "q"=>"r"))); if(in_object("r", $arrX)){ echo "r is there "; }else{ echo "Its not there "; } ?>
