[PHP] check to see if variable equals any value in an array.

[~Matt~ 0]

How do I check the variable against all of the values in the array to see if there is a match?

$variable="bird"
$array[1]="bird";
$array[2]="fish";
$array[3]="dog";
$array[4]="apple";
$array[5]="tree";

What a neat solution, I hadn't come across that before now.
