Don't make PHP do more work than it needs to:

      return ($var > $min && $var < $max)

is quite sufficient.

      return in_array($needle, $haystack)
 
Also, you may find array_splice($haystack, 0, 1) more efficient, since
array_shift() renumbers all the keys.  ($needle = $haystack[0]; unset
$haystack[0]; would be another possibility.)
