Checking to see if one array’s elements are in another array in PHP

I have two arrays in PHP as follows:

People:

Array
(
    [0] => 3
    [1] => 20
)

Wanted Criminals:

Array
(
    [0] => 2
    [1] => 4
    [2] => 8
    [3] => 11
    [4] => 12
    [5] => 13
    [6] => 14
    [7] => 15
    [8] => 16
    [9] => 17
    [10] => 18
    [11] => 19
    [12] => 20
)

How do I check if any of the People elements are in the Wanted Criminals array?

In this example, it should return true because 20 is in Wanted Criminals.

Answer

You can use array_intersect().

$result = !empty(array_intersect($people, $criminals));
