Note that the function array_search() is case-sensitive and searches for whole strings only. Therefore, if you search the array $haystack = array("first", "second", "third"); using $key = array_search($needle, $haystack); you will get a $key for $needle = "first"; $needle = "second"; $needle = "third"; but not for $needle = "First"; $needle = "sec"; $needle = "ird"; This is right for the function in_array() as well.
