simple in array question

[tec4]

No idea why this is not working for me...perhaps i'm just super tired and my logic is off but is driving me crazy! lol

Have a simple array, like:

$ret_array = Array ( [97381816989] => 1 [97381821414] => 1 [97381821534] => 1 [97381823199] => 1 ) 

and I try to check to see if the number 78 is in the array (which it should not be), like:

if (!in_array(78,$ret_array)) {
   echo "NOT in array";
} else {
 echo "IS in array";
} 

The result is "Is in array" when I run this..also tried replacing the numeric 78 with a string like "word" and it still echos "IS in array" - am I overlooking something? lol

Thanks for the help!

use the 3rd parameter for a strict check and see if it works

in_array(78,$ret_array, true)

Your example code seems to be missing punctuation between array elements.

Your example code seems to be missing punctuation between array elements.

The example (pseudo) code looks like the output from print_r()? (There shouldn't be square brackets around the array indices either) - but if this was executed as-is you'd get a fatal parse error, not "Is in array".

Is this being run on a 64-bit system? 97381816989 is outside the 32-bit integer range, so this is not going to be preserved on a 32-bit system. Although I don't think this should affect the immediate in_array() problem?!
