# array_search

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5, PHP 5)

array_search -- Searches the array for a given value and returns the corresponding key if successful

## Description

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

Searches haystack for needle and returns the key if it is found in the array, `FALSE` otherwise.

> Huomaa: If needle is a string, the comparison is done in a case-sensitive manner.

> Huomaa: Prior to PHP 4.2.0, array_search() returns `NULL` on failure instead of `FALSE`.

If the optional third parameter strict is set to `TRUE` then the array_search() will also check the types of the needle in the haystack.

If needle is found in haystack more than once, the first matching key is returned. To return the keys for all matching values, use array_keys() with the optional search_value parameter instead.

Esimerkki 1. array_search() example

`<?php $array = array(0 => 'blue', 1 => 'red', 2 => 'green', 3 => 'red'); $key = array_search('green', $array); // $key = 2; $key = array_search('red', $array); // $key = 1; ?>`

Varoitus
T�m� funktio voi palauttaa Boolean-arvon `FALSE`, mutta voi my�s palauttaa ei-Boolean-arvon joka evaluoituu arvoksi `FALSE`, kuten 0 tai "". Lis�tietoja Boolean-arvot kappaleesta. K�yt� paluuarvon testaukseen operaattoria ===.
