[RESOLVED] array_search problem

[slick101]

hey guys

im having issue with array_search i need to get the $key if it exists in the array but im always gettin false but it exists because i tried in_array function and it returns true

$key = array_search($id, $arr_ids); gives me 0 all time.

but if i do if(in_array($id, $arr_ids)) echo "yes"; it prints out yes

i tried checking on identical types by using === also but no dice.

anyone run into this problem before?

I don't suppose by any chance the array index for the matching element is, in fact, 0 (zero)?

$key = in_array($id, $arr_ids);
if($key === false)
{
   echo "not found";
}
else
{
   echo "Found at index '$key', with value: " . $arr_ids[$key];
}
