Description #

mixed array_search ( mixed $needle , array $haystack [, bool $strict = false ] )

Searches haystack for needle.

Parameters #

needle: The searched value.

Note:
If needle is a string, the comparison is done in a case-sensitive manner.
haystack: The array.
strict: If the third parameter strict is set to TRUE then the array_search() function will search for identical elements in the haystack. This means it will also check the types of the needle in the haystack, and objects must be the same instance.

Return Values #

Returns the key for needle if it is found in the array, FALSE otherwise.

Examples #
