Help please

$badnames = array('bob', 'jim', 'sam');

if($username == $badnames){
echo("That username is unavailable!<br><br>");
}

How can i make it check if $username is equal to any of the words in $badnames?

if( in_array( $username, $badnames ) )
{

    echo("That username is unavailable!<br><br>");

} 

EDIT: Forgot part of the function.

That will never work it's not even checking the $badnames...

Doesn't work.

There I misunderstood what your script was doing. It should work now.
