What could be causing the "Wrong datatype for second argument" warning in the in_array function?

The "Wrong datatype for second argument" warning in the in_array function is caused when the second argument provided is not of the correct datatype. To solve this issue, ensure that the second argument is an array if you are checking for the existence of a value within an array. If the second argument is not an array, you can convert it to an array before using it in the in_array function. 

// Example code snippet to fix the "Wrong datatype for second argument" warning in in_array function
$value_to_check = 'apple';
$array_to_search = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange'];

if (is_array($array_to_search)) {
    if (in_array($value_to_check, $array_to_search)) {
        echo "Value found in array";
    } else {
        echo "Value not found in array";
    }
} else {
    // Convert the variable to an array before using in in_array function
    $array_to_search = (array)$array_to_search;
}
