When you pass a non-array as the second arguement (i.e. the haystack) to in_array(), I think it would be more useful if PHP simply returned FALSE, instead of issuing a WARNING error.

Checking an array against is_array() before calling in_array() in a conditional expression only leads to more complicated code when I think it is quite logical for PHP to simply return false.

Marc.

You can silence to warning by calling @in_array() if you know what you are doing.
