note 45701 deleted from function.array-search by tomsommer

Note Submitter: geoff at hoffmans dot net ---- It's not immediately obvious from the docs, so I did my own test to be sure. If you search in a non-associative array, array_search does indeed return the zero-based numeric index of your search value. If not found, returns false. <?php // test to see if array_search works on non-associative arrays $array = array("a","b","c","d","e","g","f"); $pos = array_search("g", $array); echo $pos; // echoes 5 $pos2 = array_search("N", $array); if( $pos2 === NULL ) { echo "null" ; } if( $pos2 === false ) { echo "false" ; } // echoes false ?>
