cannot get this array of value compared with the session id superglobal

[alexandre]

no matter what i tried , nothing is working and i have tried every single array functions. i need to compare  $value1 with the $_SESSION['id']

$winners1[] = array_slice($WINNERSID, 0, $num_winners3);
if ($winners2 = array_filter($winners1)) {
	foreach ($winners2 as $value1) {
		

						if (in_array(intval($_SESSION['id']), $value1) && $prizepaid == false)  {

value1 contains this: array(2) { [0]=> string(2) "24" [1]=> string(2) "25" }

normally i believe it shouldnt be so complicated to see if the user id is the same as one of those numbers from the array..

Just a quick thought - doesn't the function in_array kinda do this for you?  Your code is only looking for a single array element, no?  So it's s/b quick

dont worry i finally got it working after a week stuck on this 

 $WINNERSID[] = intval($WINNERS_ROW['participationid']);
$winners1[] = array_slice($WINNERSID, 0, $num_winners3);
if ($winners = array_filter($winners1)) {
	foreach ($winners as $value) {
						if (in_array($_SESSION['id'], $value) && $prizepaid == false)  {

i simply removed the intval() from the $_SESSION id and stored the ids as int into the winnersid array. i so much tried every single thing i could on this one this has to be the simplest thing i had to change .. this is hilarious .
