Check if value exists in associative JSON array
I have an array that looks like this:
[
{
"date":"2015-07-10",
"count":"1"
},{
"date":"2015-07-11",
"count":"3"
}
]
which is given by the following query request:
$posts = Post::select(array(
DB::raw('DATE(`created_at`) as `date`'),
DB::raw('COUNT(*) as `count`')
))
->where('created_at', '>', Carbon::today()->subWeek())
->groupBy('date')
->orderBy('date', 'DESC')
->get()
->toArray();
How can I check if a specific date is already in an array? I've tried the following, but it returns false
(i.e. that the value is not in the array, even if it is):
return in_array("2015-07-10", $posts);
