I’m trying to use in_array or something like it for associative or more complex arrays.
This is the normal in_array
in_array('test', array('test', 'exists')); //true in_array('test', array('not', 'exists')); // false
What I’m trying to search is a pair, like the combination ‘test’ and ‘value’. I can set up the combo to be searched to array('test','value')
or 'test'=>'value'
as needed. But how can I do this search if the array to be searched is
array('test'=>'value', 'exists'=>'here'); or array( array('test','value'), array('exists'=>'here') );

Answer
if ( array_key_exists('test', $array) && $array['test'] == 'value' // Has test => value || in_array(array('test', 'value'), $array) // Has [test, value] ) { // Found }
