How to check if given array contains any value from another array in php?

Question

Guys please help me figure out with php. In JS i know that i can use .some or .includes, but what is analog of doing it in PHP? I read the docs of php, they are very poor about functions for arrays.

I need to solve next problem:

['banana', 'apple', 'coconut']

i want to return true, if in array above contains any of values from this array ['apple'], order of elements in given array must not matter!

How to solve this problem in php?

Answer 1

I truly don't feel like PHP documentation is poor when it comes to array functions. In fact the array_interesect documentation is the first Google result for "check if array contains any element of array".

$array_1 = ['banana', 'apple', 'coconut'];
$array_2 = ['banana'];

if (sizeof(array_intersect($array_1, $array_2))) {
    echo "Contains at least 1 element";
} else {
    echo "Doesn't contain even 1 element";
}
