If you want one that will also work for an associative array, try this:
function array_search ($needle, $haystack, $strict = FALSE) {
foreach (array_keys($haystack) as $key) {
if ($strict) {
if ($haystack[$key] === $needle) return $key;
}
else {
if ($haystack[$key] == $needle) return $key;
}
}
return FALSE;
}
Note the function array_keys also has functionality for finding the key for a specified element.
