Question

I feel like this is a pretty easy question, but I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere.

$array = ('colors' => array('red','orange'),
          'numbers'=> array('one','two')
         );

How do a perform a search on the $array to determine if colors contains a value of red?

Thanks in advance.

There is no built in array function to do this. Thes simplest way to to it in the specific case youve given is to do:

$hasRed = (isset($array['colors'] && in_array('red', $array['colors']));
