<para>
Searches <parameter>haystack</parameter> for
<parameter>needle</parameter> and returns &true;
if it is found in the array, &false; otherwise.
</para>
<para>
If the third parameter <parameter>strict</parameter> is set to
&true; then the <function>in_array</function> function
will also check the <link linkend="language.types">types</link> of
the <parameter>needle</parameter> in the <parameter>haystack</parameter>.
</para>
<note>
<para>
If <parameter>needle</parameter> is a string, the comparison is done in
a case-sensitive manner.
</para>
</note>
<note>
<para>
In PHP versions before 4.2.0 <parameter>needle</parameter> was not
allowed to be an array.
</para>

The second condition fails because <function>in_array</function>
