Check whether the element is present or not in an array

Question

This is my array. I want to check whether 'NASHIK' is present or not in this array. I have used in_array function but I did not get correct output. Help me to findout solution.

Thanks in advance.

Array
(
    [Neo] => 16686
    [new] => 16799
    [PUNE] => 17371
    [NASHIK] => 17373
)

Have you read the documentation of [`in_array()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php)? It searches a value but you want to search a key. You can try [`isset()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php) or [`array_key_exists()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-key-exists.php). — axiac, Aug 30 '17 at 11:05

You are looking for the key of the array, not the value. That's why in_array() is not the correct one.

You need array_key_exists() for that.
