How to check in PHP that any values exist in array in addition to some fixed value

I have an array like this:

$array = array('static_value_1', 'static_value_2', 'extra_value_1', 'extra_value_2');

How could I return true if any value exists in array in addition to static_value_1 and/or static_value_2?

For example this array should return true:

array = array('static_value_1', 'static_value_2', 'extra_value_1');

and this one false:

array = array('static_value_1', 'static_value_2');

Thanks!

I think just looping looking for non-static should work:

function check_array($check) {
    $static=Array('static_value_1', 'static_value_2');
    // Dealing with empty array.
    if(count($check)==0) return false;

    foreach($check as $value) {
      // If value is not in static collection is an addition...
      if(!in_array($value, $static)) {
        return false;
      }
    }
    return true;
}
