It seems that in_array() always returns TRUE if you are looking for the number 0, no matter whether it's in the array or not. Example: <?php $arr = array ("mom", "dad", 2, 8); if (in_array(0, $arr)) echo "found it"; ?> This will indeed output "found it". This does not occur with the needle being FALSE or "0" or any other integer I tested and it does not occur with an empty array. array_search(0, $arr) leads to a similar result: It will always return the number 0 (not FALSE). I'm not sure whether this is a bug or whether I'm just not getting a deeper meaning here. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57348 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57348&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57348&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57348&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57348&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57348&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57348&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57348&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57348&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
