It returns the key of the matched element:
$test = array('cat', 'dog', 'hutch'=>'rabbit',
'tank'=>'goldfish', 'cage'=>'budgie',
'goat');
echo array_search('goat', $test); // returns 2
echo array_search('goldfish', $test); // returns 'tank'
Isn't this what you wanted? If not, please expand or reformulate your question.
Cheers!
Mike
