Laravel - Check if value is present in array

Question

Why does this code return false every time?

$lics = collect(['lic100' => auth()->user()->lic100, 'lic250' => auth()->user()->lic250, 'lic500' => auth()->user()->lic500]);
$licsowned = $lics->filter()->keys();
$haslicense = property_exists($licsowned, $data['lictype']);

$licsowned:

Illuminate\Support\Collection {#367 ▼
 #items: array:3 [▼
  0 => "lic100"
  1 => "lic250"
  2 => "lic500"
 ]
}

$data['lictype'] has the value lic250

I also tried with in_array() but it gave the error message that the value must be an array and I passed an object.

So, did you try the contains() method of Collection instance? laravel.com/docs/7.x/collections#method-contains — Oleg Nurutdinov

You need to use contains() method of Collection instance.

For example:

$collection = collect(['name' => 'Desk', 'price' => 100]);

$collection->contains('Desk');

Or, in your task:

$lics = collect(['lic100' => auth()->user()->lic100, 'lic250' => auth()->user()->lic250, 'lic500' => auth()->user()->lic500]);

$lics->contains('lic250');

Your $licsowned variable is a collection. You can use contains() method. Example:

$licsowned->contains('lic100')
