Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php array_search() checks for loose equality by default, and 0 == null. Use the $strict parameter.

Try the example below. Test script: --------------- $array = [ 'a' => 1, 'b' => 0, 'c' => null, 'd' => null ]; echo array_search(null, $array);//expect c > b Expected result: ---------------- I would have liked to have gotten a C back if I could. You can also use foreach as an alternative, so please let me know if this is a spec or a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79583&edit=1
