show an array index

[thesilencer5]

Hi,

I´m searching an array for a particular value. Now I want to know the array´s index, where the value is in. That´s my script yet:

<?php

$array[] = "bla"; 
$array[] = "test"; 
$array[] = "yesnoyes"; 

$searchfor = "test";

if(in_array($searchfor, $array)){
    echo "exists, ".key($array);
}else{
    echo "don´t exist";
}

?>

... But it always shows index 0. How can I make it work?

More likely:

<?php
$array[] = "bla"; 
$array[] = "test"; 
$array[] = "yesnoyes"; 

$searchfor = "test";

$key = array_search($searchfor, $array);
if ($key === false) {
	echo $searchfor . " is not in the array";
} else {
	echo $searchfor . " is at index " . $key;
}
?>
