最近在用php写一段代码时,要用到判断某值是否在另外一组值中。而in_array 函数就是用来检查数组中是否存在某个值 。直接通过概念理解比较模糊,可以通过具体例子了解其作用。

例1:

 1<?php
 2$os = array("Mac", "NT", "Irix", "Linux");
 3if (in_array("Irix", $os)) {
 4    echo "Got Irix";
 5}
 6if (in_array("mac", $os)) {
 7    echo "Got mac";
 8}
 9?>
10
11以上代码的执行结果是:
12Got Irix

第二个条件失败,因为 in_array() 是区分大小写的。

例2:

1<?php
2$europe = array("美国","英国","法国","德国","意大利","西班牙","丹麦");
3if (in_array("美国",$europe)) {
4echo "True";
5}
6?>

同上面一样,执行结果为True 。

例3:严格类型检查例子

 1<?php
 2$a = array('1.10', 12.4, 1.13);
 3if (in_array('12.4', $a, true)) {
 4    echo "'12.4' found with strict check ";
 5}
 6if (in_array(1.13, $a, true)) {
 7    echo "1.13 found with strict check ";
 8}
 9?>
10
11其输出结果是:
121.13 found with strict check

例4:数组中套用数组

 1<?php
 2$a = array(array('p', 'h'), array('p', 'r'), 'o');
 3if (in_array(array('p', 'h'), $a)) {
 4    echo "'ph' was found ";
 5}
 6if (in_array(array('f', 'i'), $a)) {
 7    echo "'fi' was found ";
 8}
 9if (in_array('o', $a)) {
10    echo "'o' was found ";
11}
12?>
13
14其输出结果为:
15'ph' was found
16'o' was found

bool in_array ( mixed $needle , array $haystack [, bool $strict = FALSE ] ),在 haystack 中搜索 needle,如果没有设置 strict 则使用宽松的比较。

注:自php5.4以后。数组定义由array()换成了array[] 。
