Assuming, section is an array, here is the piece of code which returns trur if logged in user section number is present in the section.

sessionSectionVar - is the section number of user stored in the session.

<?php
function myfunction($ae)
{
if ($ae===sessionSectionVar)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
print_r(array_filter($ae,"myfunction"));
?>

15 offices or 200 or 20,000 offices will not really matter. If your tables are indexed correctly the size and speed of the app will be just fine. Anyway thanks for the points and good luck with it, ~Ray
