Note Submitter: r dot wilczek at web-appz dot de ---- Note on the above documentation: "If the third parameter strict is set to TRUE then the array_search() function will also check the types of the needle in the haystack." If the array contains objects, setting the strict-parameter to TRUE will check for object-identity, not only for equality of type and value! <?php $foo = new stdClass; $foo->foo = 'a'; $bar = new stdClass; $bar->foo = 'a'; var_dump(array_search($bar, array($foo))); // int(0) var_dump(array_search($bar, array($foo), true)); // bool(false) ?> If the comparison would check for equality of type and value only, the strict variant would output int(0), for $foo and $bar in the example do not differ in both type and value.
