Hi, I am trying to use the Function ArrayCompare, but it always has an error in "if(($key = array_search($element, $array2)) == false)", and also I couldn't get the page of http://www.stivesdirect.com/e-mail-disclaimer.html Would you please give me a clue? Thanks!

If you only want the first one either just use the first one( foreach(){ ... break;}) or put a break in the if.
