However, I am getting the following error: > PHP Warning: in_array() > [function.in-array<http://develop1/credit%20card%20processing/function.in-array>]: > Wrong datatype for second argument The call to file() has probably failed. Check to see if $lines === false, if so that is your problem. In which case you probably need to address the path to fruits.txt, or check file permissions.
