Answer 1

This is the first function of this type that I found in the php manual for in_array. Functions in the comment sections aren't always the best but if it doesn't do the trick you can look in there too :)

in_multiarray( $elem, $array_element ) )
                 {
                     return TRUE;
                     exit;
                 }
             }
         }

         // if isn't in array return FALSE
         return FALSE;
    }
?>
