How can I check if a value is already in an array?
Answer Posted / jude jeevanraj.p
If you wish to check whether a value is already stored in
an array or not, then use the in_array function.
This is useful when you don't want any duplicates in the
array and therefore only want to add a value if it's not
already there. The first argument is the string you are
testing for and the second is the array you are checking

<?php
$values = array("banana","apple","pear","banana");
$newvalue = "pear";
if (in_array
