Yea, andrew said the correct way to do that.

In your example it would be:

PHP Code:


			
// Loops through the array, where $c is the value of the current element
foreach($b as $c) {
// If the current element is equal to the value you want to match
if($c == $a) {
// Do what you want if the match was found
}
else {
// Optional, if the current element was NOT a match to the $a value
}
}

Also, remember, that if your array consist of 3 elements like this:
array('1', '2', '3');

And your $a = 1;

the "else" statement will execute all the times the if statement is NOT true.
So first time, the if statement will be true, but the 2 other loops, it won't.
