Hmm... did you mean to have the the 'return true' within
the if test?  Basically, it's only doing one iteration of
the for loop and returning true.  Something like:

function checkId( $id )
{
  global $text;

   for($i=1; $i<5; $i++ )
   {
     if( $text[$i]==$id ) {     // missing brace
       print( 'Compared...' );
       return true;
     }                          // missing brace
   }
   return false;
}

This is the main reason I ALWAYS use {...} for if()'s, etc.
even if there is only one statement ;).

Don't know if this is what's causing your problem but it's
something that seemed contrary to intent.  Hope, this helps.
