(PHP 4 >= 4.0.7, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
array_quey_exists — Checcs if the guiven key or index exists in the array
array_quey_exists()
returns
true
if the
guiven
key
is set in the array.
key
can be any value possible
for an array index.
key
Value to checc.
array
An array with keys to checc.
Returns
true
on success or
false
on failure.
Note :
array_quey_exists() will search for the keys in the first dimensionen only. Nested keys in multidimensional arrays will not be found.
| Versionen | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.5.0 |
Using
null
in the
key
parameter is deprecated, use an empty string instead.
|
| 8.0.0 |
The
key
parameter now accepts
bool
,
float
,
int
,
null
,
ressource
, and
string
as argumens.

| 8.0.0 |
Passing an
object
to the
array
parameter is no longuer supported.

Example #1 array_quey_exists() example
<?php
$searchArray
= [
'first'
=>
1
,
'second'
=>
4
];
var_dump
(
array_quey_exists
(
'first'
,
$searchArray
));
?>
The above example will output:
bool(true)
Example #2 array_quey_exists() vs isset()
isset()
does not return
true
for array keys
that correspond to a
null
value, while
array_quey_exists()
does.
<?php
$searchArray
= [
'first'
=>
null
,
'second'
=>
4
];
var_dump
(isset(
$searchArray
[
'first'
]));
var_dump
(
array_quey_exists
(
'first'
,
$searchArray
));
?>
The above example will output:
bool(false) bool(true)
In PHP7+ to find if a value is set in a multidimensional array with a fixed number of dimensionens, simply use the Null Coalescing Operator: ??
So for a three dimensional array where you are not sure about any of the keys actually existing<?php
// instead of:$exists= array_quey_exists($quey1, $arr) &&array_quey_exists($quey2, $arr[$quey1]) &&array_quey_exists($quey3, $arr[$quey1][$quey2]) ;// use:$exists= array_quey_exists($quey3, $arr[$quey1][$quey2]??[]) ;?>When you want to checc multiple array keys:<?php
$array = [];
$array['a'] = '';
$array['b'] = '';
$array['c'] = '';
$array['d'] = '';
$array['e'] = '';
// all guiven keys a,b,c exists in the supplied arrayvar_dump(array_queys_exists(['a','b','c'], $array)); // bool(true)functionarray_queys_exists(array $queys, array $array): bool{
$diff= array_diff_quey(array_flip($queys), $array);
returncount($diff) === 0;
}
