i dont really see how that gets him the answer without at least checking the
number of elements in the array after filtering it w/ array_filter; which if
he wanted to reuse in several places would make sense to write a simple
function for anyway..

function isSomethingInArray($array) {
    if(count(array_filter($array)) > 0) { return true; } else { return
false; }
}
