Finding Items in an Array with PHP

This elementary tutorial describes how to search an array to see if a specific item lies in it. In the tutorial, we create an array of strings such as &"Apple&" and &"Orange&" then show you how to use PHP to find out that &"Apple&" is in the array but &"Monkey&" is not. This can be useful in PHP programs if you have a collection of items (perhaps that a user has entered) and you want to know if a certain item is in that collection.
