Checking if an item is in an array - using in_array but not working as expected

[tec-4]

Hello,

 

Currently have an array like looks like the following when using print_r($session->items):

 

Array ( [F1225] => 1 [EDS11147317] => 1 [1156D6RE001] => 1 [i111ADE47946] => 1 [s679AQ339] => 1 [s67914599] => 1 [CH111337631254] => 1 [s6787903647] => 1 [A11144O189] => 1 [F11144520] => 1 [121584Q12] => 1 [i11144661ADE] => 1 [s678829NB] => 1 )

 

I am trying to check if an item is in the array and if so, display a different result but currently every item says it is in the array when they are not (unless my logic is off...from the items I am looking at some should be included and some should not..but the below code is showing every item as having the same result).

 

Example:

 

foreach ($items as $item) {

 

if (in_array($item->ItemID, $session->items))  {  //$session->items is the array output above

 

    echo "In Array";

 

    } else {

 

    echo "NOT in Array";

 

    }

 

}

 

 

Currently everything say "In Array" when some should not.  Am I using the in_array incorrectly?

 

Thanks Everyone.

All your you array values are keys.

 

You probably want to use array_key_exists.

 

Without knowing the value of $item->ItemID it's impossible to help further.

Well that was a quick fix...and here I thought I was going crazy

 

Thanks for looking it over xyph!

Wait! Incorrect terminology error Don't wanna confuse you

 

Change the first line of my post to

 

Your array data is stored in the key, not as a value.
