Syntax:

Parameter: contains a single parameter.
$variable_name:the variable we want to check.
Return value: It is a boolean function so returns TRUE when $variable_name is a boolean value, otherwise FALSE.

Below the example illustrate the working of the function is_array(). Example 1:

<?php 
// PHP code to demonstrate working of is_array() 
$variable_name1=67.099; 
$variable_name2=32; 
$variable_name3="abc"; 
$variable_name4=array('A', 'B', 'C'); 
  
// $variable_name4 is an array, returns TRUE 
if (is_array($variable_name4)) 
    echo "array('A', 'B', 'C') is an array .
"; 
else
    echo "array('A', 'B', 'C') is not a array value.
"; 
  
  
// $variable_name1 is not array, gives FALSE 
if (is_array($variable_name1)) 
    echo "$variable_name1 is a array value.
"; 
else
    echo "$variable_name1 is not a array value.
"; 
  
// $variable_name2 is not array, gives FALSE 
if (is_array($variable_name2)) 
    echo "$variable_name2 is a array value.
"; 
else
    echo "$variable_name2 is not a array value.
"; 
  
// $variable_name3 is not array, gives FALSE 
if (is_array($variable_name3)) 
    echo "$variable_name3 is a array value.
"; 
else
    echo "$variable_name3 is not a array value.
"; 
?>
