Prob with in_array search

[davidjames52]

Hi all,

Hoping someone will be able to tell me where I am going wrong. What I am trying to achieve is to pull an array string from a database add a player to it then update the string in the database. Here is the code that I am using.The if statement does not work either it just adds the player over and over and does not find the player that has signed up twice.

$recievearrayresults = mysql_fetch_array($recievearray);
$playerarray = array(Unserialize($recievearrayresults['players']));
if(in_array("$userid",$playerarray)){
die ("You are already in this tourney".mysql_error());
}
else{
array_push($playerarray,$userid);
$newplayerarray = serialize($playerarray);
$b = mysql_query("UPDATE gameplayers SET players='$newplayerarray' WHERE game='$gamenumber'");
$playerarraycount = count($playerarray); // used to tell if its been added then I echo it out

Thanks heaps for helping

$playerarray = array(Unserialize($recievearrayresults['players']));

u really need the array() here? nd U is lowercase for Unserialize(). may be a typo.

$playerarray = unserialize($recievearrayresults['players']);
