    copied!<p>I am trying to compare a string with an array to see if the string is present in the array and if so echo 'in array'. I keep only being able to have the echo work as I want with the very last entry in the array.</p> <pre><code>foreach($array as $key =&gt; $value) { foreach($entries as $entry) { if($entry == $value) echo 'in array 1'; } if (in_array($value, $entries)) { echo 'in array 2'; } if(isset($entries[$value])) { echo 'in array 3'; } } </code></pre> <p>the echo for 'in array 1' and 'in array 2' work only on whatever the very last entry in the $entries array is, and the echo for 'in array 3' doesnt work at all.</p> <p>Its probably something stupid but I am not seeing it...</p> <p>edit: </p> <p>here is some examples of the arrays</p> <pre><code>$entries = array(5) { [0]=&gt; string(14) "example text 1" [1]=&gt; string(14) "example text 2" [2]=&gt; string(14) "example text 3" [3]=&gt; string(14) "example text 4" [4]=&gt; string(14) "example text 5" } $array = array(5) { [0]=&gt; string(14) "example text 1" [1]=&gt; string(14) "example text 2" [2]=&gt; string(14) "example text 3" [3]=&gt; string(14) "example text 7" [4]=&gt; string(14) "example text 8" } </code></pre> <p>so now when I do</p> <pre><code>foreach($array as $key =&gt; $value) </code></pre> <p>$value should have the values from my $array and I need to compare each one of those values to see if they are present in my $entries array. If so id like to echo 'in array'</p> <p>edit 2:</p> <p>if it makes a difference my $entries array is being created by file() since the information is coming from a log. Everytime a new file is added, it is logged, then i want to compare incoming files to the log, determine if they have been added already, and if not, add them.</p>
