在 PHP 中，`array_key_exists` 函数用于检查一个数组中是否存在指定的键。它的基本用法如下：

```php
</span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$array</span></span><span> = [
    </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'name'</span></span><span> =&gt; </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'Alice'</span></span><span>,
    </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'age'</span></span><span> =&gt; </span><span><span class="hljs-number">25</span></span><span>
];

</span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">if</span></span><span> (</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">array_key_exists</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-string">'name'</span></span><span>, </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$array</span></span><span>)) {
    </span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">echo</span></span><span> </span><span><span class="hljs-string">"键 'name' 存在"</span></span><span>;
} </span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">else</span></span><span> {
    </span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">echo</span></span><span> </span><span><span class="hljs-string">"键 'name' 不存在"</span></span><span>;
}
</span></span>

运行结果：

<span><span>键 </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'name'</span></span><span> 存在
</span></span>

一、array_key_exists 与多维数组

需要注意的是，array_key_exists 只能检查当前数组层级的键，它不会自动递归检查多维数组中的嵌套键。例如：

<span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$multiArray</span></span><span> = [
    </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'user'</span></span><span> =&gt; [
        </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'name'</span></span><span> =&gt; </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'Bob'</span></span><span>,
        </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'email'</span></span><span> =&gt; </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'[email protected]'</span></span><span>
    ]
];

</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">var_dump</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">array_key_exists</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-string">'user'</span></span><span>, </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$multiArray</span></span><span>));        </span><span><span class="hljs-comment">// true</span></span><span>
</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">var_dump</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">array_key_exists</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-string">'name'</span></span><span>, </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$multiArray</span></span><span>));        </span><span><span class="hljs-comment">// false</span></span><span>
</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">var_dump</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">array_key_exists</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-string">'name'</span></span><span>, </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$multiArray</span></span><span>[</span><span><span class="hljs-string">'user'</span></span><span>])); </span><span><span class="hljs-comment">// true</span></span><span>
</span></span>

上面的例子说明：

'user' 是 $multiArray 的顶层键，所以检查返回 true。
'name' 并不是 $multiArray 的顶层键，所以直接检查返回 false。
如果想检查嵌套数组中的 'name' 键，需要先访问 $multiArray['user'] 再调用 array_key_exists。

二、检查多维数组中的键的方法

如果你想在多维数组中递归检查某个键是否存在，可以自己写一个辅助函数：

<span><span><span class="hljs-function"><span class="hljs-keyword">function</span></span></span><span> </span><span><span class="hljs-title">array_key_exists_recursive</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-params"><span class="hljs-variable">$key</span></span></span><span>, </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$array</span></span><span>) {
    </span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">if</span></span><span> (</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">array_key_exists</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$key</span></span><span>, </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$array</span></span><span>)) {
        </span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">return</span></span><span> </span><span><span class="hljs-literal">true</span></span><span>;
    }

    </span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">foreach</span></span><span> (</span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$array</span></span><span> </span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">as</span></span><span> </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$value</span></span><span>) {
        </span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">if</span></span><span> (</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">is_array</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$value</span></span><span>) &amp;&amp; </span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">array_key_exists_recursive</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$key</span></span><span>, </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$value</span></span><span>)) {
            </span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">return</span></span><span> </span><span><span class="hljs-literal">true</span></span><span>;
        }
    }

    </span><span><span class="hljs-keyword">return</span></span><span> </span><span><span class="hljs-literal">false</span></span><span>;
}

</span><span><span class="hljs-comment">// 示例</span></span><span>
</span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$multiArray</span></span><span> = [
    </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'user'</span></span><span> =&gt; [
        </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'name'</span></span><span> =&gt; </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'Bob'</span></span><span>,
        </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'email'</span></span><span> =&gt; </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'[email protected]'</span></span><span>
    ],
    </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'settings'</span></span><span> =&gt; [
        </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'theme'</span></span><span> =&gt; </span><span><span class="hljs-string">'dark'</span></span><span>
    ]
];

</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">var_dump</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">array_key_exists_recursive</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-string">'email'</span></span><span>, </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$multiArray</span></span><span>)); </span><span><span class="hljs-comment">// true</span></span><span>
</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">var_dump</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">array_key_exists_recursive</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-string">'theme'</span></span><span>, </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$multiArray</span></span><span>)); </span><span><span class="hljs-comment">// true</span></span><span>
</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">var_dump</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-title function_ invoke__">array_key_exists_recursive</span></span><span>(</span><span><span class="hljs-string">'age'</span></span><span>, </span><span><span class="hljs-variable">$multiArray</span></span><span>));   </span><span><span class="hljs-comment">// false</span></span><span>
</span></span>

这个函数会遍历数组中的每一层，如果找到了指定的键就返回 true，否则最终返回 false。

三、总结

array_key_exists 默认只检查当前数组层级的键。
多维数组中嵌套的键，需要先访问对应的子数组，或者使用递归函数。
使用递归方法可以方便地检查多层数组中是否存在某个键，非常适合配置数组或复杂数据结构。

通过这种方法，你可以更灵活地处理多维数组中的键检查，而不会被 array_key_exists 的局限性所困扰。
