note 102208 deleted from function.in-array by cmb

Note Submitter: user at NOSPAM at fullservicead dot com ---- After reading all other notes about performance, I made a little test. fill an array in a loop with random characters, shuffle it search on it using 4 methods. I tried to have haystack as array and string; hence the strstr. I tried it on 9, 99, 999, 9999 elements and the results remain in the same order: 9999 elements Function : execution time in miliseconds. strstr : 1.2994079589844 fast_in_array : 1.0655579566956 isset : 0.99128198623657 //Winner, used from another note here. in_array : 2.9410798549652 One last detail, I moved my functions around in the script to make sure there was no memory caching, reiteration op or whatever, it's all the same. in_array is the slowest and the use of isset($array[$NEEDLE]) the fastest. I hope it saves somebody else the trouble.
