1.2.1472. array_key_exists() Works On Arrays¶
array_key_exists() requires arrays as second argument. Until PHP 7.4, objects were also allowed, yet it is now deprecated.
<?php
// Valid way to check for key
$array = ['a' => 1];
var_dump(array_key_exists('a', $array))
// Deprecated since PHP 7.4
$object = new Stdclass();
$object->a = 1;
var_dump(array_key_exists('a', $object))
?>
See also array_key_exists() with objects and array_key_exists.
