wrong parameter count for strstr question

lottos

get a "Warning: Wrong parameter count for strstr().." error on this code which is to check if email belongs to specific domains and if so, generate an error message to the user.

$email_vals = array( 'hotmail.com', 'yahoo.com', 'mailinator.com' ); 
        if(in_array(strstr($email) , $email_vals )) { 
            /*         if((strstr($email, "@hotmail.com")) || (strstr($email, "@yahoo.com")) || (strstr($email, "mailinator.com"))) { */ 
                    error($langfile['mailnotallowed']); 
            }

if(in_array(strstr($email) , $email_vals ))

in_array(strstr $email , $email_vals )

What is the [man]strstr/man supposed to be doing?

lottos

looking for occurrences of the strings within the array $email_vals in the variable $email

But that's what the [man]in_array[/man] is doing, right?

I'm no expert - I'm attempting to check if an email address that belongs to the hotmail, yahoo etc. domain is entered ($email).

Just using in_array will surely only check the domain and not partial matches per strstr - it works just fine on the commented out line (when it's not commented out!) and I was attempting to use array to make it easier to add domains to check.
