In case you want to check if multiple values are in your array, you can use this function:
<?php
function array_values_in_array($needles, $haystack) {
	if(is_array($needles)){
		$valid=true;
		foreach($needles as $needle){
			if(!in_array($needle, $haystack)){
				$valid=false;	
			}
		}
		return $valid;
	}else{
		return in_array($needles, $haystack);
	}  
}
//for example
$needles=array('ubuntu', 'gentoo', 'suse');
$haystack=array('ubuntu', 'gentoo', 'suse', 'knoppix', 'fedora', 'debian');
if(array_values_in_array($needles, $haystack)){
	echo 'All the values of $needles are in $haystack';
}else{
	echo 'Some values of $needles are not in $haystack';
}

?>
