title: Find value in array jQuery
body: <p>So I need to get the part of the array that is holding a specific id, so that I can use the other variables within it.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my current code to create the array:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php foreach ($list_subjects as $subject): ?&gt;
      subjects.push({
          id: parseInt(&lt;?php echo $subject['subject_id']; ?&gt;),
          subject_name: "&lt;?php echo $subject['subject_name']; ?&gt;",
          course_type: "&lt;?php echo $subject['course_type']; ?&gt;",
          num_videos: parseInt(&lt;?php echo $subject['num_videos']; ?&gt;),
          subject_tag: "&lt;?php echo $subject['subject_tags']; ?&gt;"
      });
  &lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(I know mixing PHP in this fashion isn't good practise, but bear with me for this question)</p>
  
  <p>This is the code I'm using to at least try and check if the value is in the array, but it is returning -1 every time, and the value of course_id IS in the array.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>alert($.inArray(course_id, subjects.id));</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Why is this happening?</p>
