selected function is not supporting the multiselect dropdown

[gchokeen]

Hi,

While I working with multiselect dropdown box, I realized [selected]​http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/selected function is not supporting the multi select value. For example if selected function is not compatible to handle the array values.

I think we need to use in_array in the function to resolve this trouble.

selected('1',array('1','3'));

Since selected() is comparing values, you should see if in_array() returns true. And since it can accept that the first value is just true or false, you can just use it as the first argument.

$value = '1';
selected( in_array( $value, array( '1', '3' ) ) );
