Note that the function in_array() is case-sensitive and searches for whole strings only. Therefore, if you search the array $haystack = array("first", "second", "third"); using $result = in_array($needle, $haystack); you will get a TRUE $result for $needle = "first"; $needle = "second"; $needle = "third"; but a FALSE $result for $needle = "First"; $needle = "sec"; $needle = "ird"; This is right for the function search_array() as well.
