A good option if your array contains objects and you wish to recursively search it (eg. with in_arrayr), is to use json_encode and json_decode first:

<?php

$array = json_decode(json_encode($array_with_objects), true);

?>

In my opinion this is more elegant than a recursive in_array function which converts the objects into arrays while searching for a key and/or value.
