Description:
------------
<?php
$array = array(0 => "blue", 1 => "red", 2 => "green", 3 => "red");

$key = array_search($array, "green"); // $key = 2;
$key = array_search($array, "red");  // $key = 1;
?> 

The array_search examples arguments are the wrong way around, there searching the needle with the haystack ;)

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
