Hi,
just a correction, I meant array_diff when i wrote array_intersect.
array_diff is more handy since just count($res)==0 is enough, $res is the
returned array of array_diff().

So, I did now some testing. Looks like in_array_all() is 6x faster than array_intersect()
the haystack is 10 elements, and needles are 3.
When 1000 elements in haystack, the fastest time (when the needles are in the beggining
in_array_all is 300x faster. When the whole haystack should be traversed it's about 250x
faster than array_intersect. When one of the needles is not in the haystack : 300x .
Script :


<?php
$i = 0;
while ($i++ < 1000) {
        $a[] = $i;
}
$start = microtime(1);
$res = in_array_all(100, 2, 3, $a, true);
$end = microtime(1);
printf("Time : %3.5f\n",$end - $start);
$needles = array(100, 2, 3);
$start = microtime(1);
$diff = array_diff($needles, $a);
$end = microtime(1);
var_dump($diff);
printf("Time : %3.5f\n",$end - $start);
