<?php

$var = 'abcdefg';

var_dump((in_array($var{1}, range(0, 9))));

?>

bool(true)

wtf 😕

You're comparing a string to an integer. The string gets converted to an integer. Casting the string 'b' to an integer produces 0. And 0 is in the range [0..9].

Now try an array that doesn't contain 0:

var_dump((in_array($var{1}, range(5, 9))));

And a type-strict comparison:

var_dump((in_array($var{1}, range(0, 9), true)));

Eh...Weedpacket beat me to it; took me about 2 minutes too long to figure it out. 🙁
