in_array() and multidimensional array

Question

I use in_array() to check whether a value exists in an array like below,

$a = array(\"Mac\", \"NT\", \"Irix\", \"Linux\");
if (in_array(\"Irix\"         


        

Answer 1

what about array_search? seems it quite faster than foreach according to https://gist.github.com/Ocramius/1290076 ..

if( array_search("Irix", $a) === true) 
{
    echo "Got Irix";
}
