[SOLVED] Having Trouble Validating Array()

[phpQuestioner]

I am trying to check my array with a if else condition, but it does not seem to be working; what do I need to do too make this work - would I explode "asm"?

 

<?php

$asm = array("1","2","3","4","5");

if ($cat != "$asm") {
echo "Not An Option";
}

?>

 

The above code will echo out "Not An Option" even if $cat is equal to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.

You need to use the in_array() function.

 

<?php

$asm = array("1","2","3","4","5");

if (!in_array($cat, $asm)) {
   echo "Not An Option";
}

?>
