A few more points:

Comparing $input_city with $myCities will always fail (Unless someone typed the entire city list). You probably intended to compare with $city
With your current code, every failed comparison will print the "I'm sorry" message. That should only print if ALL comparisons fail (as in after the for loop.)
As pointed out earlier, "==" is for numeric comparison. Try "eq".
The uc and lc functions can be used to make the comparisons case insensitive (or you could use a regular expression).

If you have studied hashes, using that construct would make your code considerably simpler, and easier to read.

Good luck.
