I have the following array:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[video_id] => 161162806
)
[1] => Array
(
[video_id] => 161736574
)
[2] => Array
(
[video_id] => 156382678
)
)
I try to find a value, but even though it's in the array it doesn't find it.
if(in_array("161162806", $safe, true)) {
echo "approved video";
} else {
echo "non-approved video";
}
What am I doing wrong?
It is because you have arrays in array (multidimensional array).
You have to loop over :
foreach($safe as $s) {
if(in_array("161162806", $s)) {
echo "approved video";
} else {
echo "non-approved video";
}
}
PS : Remove true param if you want to assimilate integers and strings :
123 or "123"
you have declared a 'strict' check on in_array.
Because of this it will check the type as well. Seeing as your search parameter is a string, it wont match the integer in the array.
try this (when you've sorted the below mentioned issue):
if(in_array("161162806", $safe)) {
echo "approved video";
} else {
echo "non-approved video";
}
but you have separate arrays in the one your'e checking. in_array will only check the direct values of the array provided. Have a look at this question for a possible solution to that part of the problem. (Or Delphines answer)
