This question already has an answer here:
I've two arrays, one is my define array and another I process from the database. Is there any proper way to compare between those arrays?
From database:
$user_type = [0 => "public" 1 => "10x413" 2 => "12x432"]
Defined array:
$specificUser = ['10x410','10x411','10x412','10x413','10x414']
If any element matches, then return true, just like php in_array()
function.
</div>
Just loop and check as you would using in_array()
to get the value that matches:
foreach($specificUser as $value) {
if(in_array($value, $user_type)) {
echo $value;
//break; to stop checking, a match was found, or not to continue and see more
}
}
Or to just test for any match:
if(array_intersect($specificUser, $user_type)) {
// it's true :-)
}
I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but here's a solution:
array() !== array_intersect($user_types, $specific_users);
Note: The array elements are compared using strict comparison, so two elements are considered matching only if they are the same type and value.
